Betasalic Ointment is a topical medication used to treat various skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. It contains two active ingredients, betamethasone dipropionate and salicylic acid.
Betamethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation, itching, and redness in the affected area. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that helps to soften and remove the thickened skin associated with some skin conditions.
Betasalic Ointment is typically applied to the affected area 1-2 times a day, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to avoid using this medication on broken or infected skin, as well as on the face or near the eyes, unless directed by a healthcare professional.
Common side effects of Betasalic Ointment may include burning, itching, or stinging at the site of application. It is important to talk to a healthcare professional about the potential benefits and risks of this medication before using it, especially if you have a history of allergies or sensitivity to any of its components.
Betasalic Ointment is available in a 15g tube and should be stored at room temperature, away from light and moisture.
