PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM

How PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM Works

• PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM combines the therapeutic effects of salicylic acid and clobetasol propionate to effectively treat various skin conditions. Clobetasol propionate, a highly potent corticosteroid, reduces inflammation, itching, and redness by suppressing the activity of the immune system in the skin. It binds to intracellular receptors, which then regulate the transcription of genes controlling the production of inflammatory mediators. This leads to decreased vasodilation, reduced migration of inflammatory cells into the affected area, and diminished release of substances that cause itching and swelling.
• Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, works by softening and loosening the top layer of skin cells (stratum corneum). This promotes desquamation (shedding of dead skin cells), which helps to unclog pores, reduce scaling, and improve the penetration of clobetasol propionate. Salicylic acid increases the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolves the intercellular cement that holds skin cells together. This process aids in the removal of psoriatic scales, calluses, and warts, making the skin smoother and more receptive to the anti-inflammatory effects of clobetasol propionate.
• The synergistic action of these two ingredients allows PROSALIC OINTMENT to provide relief from symptoms associated with psoriasis, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and other similar skin disorders. By reducing inflammation and promoting the shedding of dead skin cells, this ointment helps to restore the skin's normal texture and appearance. Regular application, as directed by a healthcare professional, can significantly improve the condition of the skin and alleviate discomfort.
• In essence, PROSALIC OINTMENT works through a dual mechanism: clobetasol propionate targets the inflammatory response at a cellular level, while salicylic acid exfoliates the skin's surface to enhance drug penetration and remove dead skin. This combined approach ensures effective treatment of inflammatory skin conditions characterized by scaling and hyperkeratosis. Always follow the prescribed application guidelines for optimal results and to minimize potential side effects.

Common side effects of Prosalic Ointment may include: Skin irritation, burning, itching, redness, dryness, peeling, or scaling at the application site. Less common side effects may include: Allergic reactions (rash, hives, swelling), folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles), acneiform eruptions (acne-like breakouts), hypopigmentation (loss of skin color), hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth), secondary infection.

• Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep PROSALIC OINTMENT 20GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store PROSALIC OINTMENT 20GM at room temperature.

• Apply a thin layer of PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM to the affected area only as directed by your doctor. Avoid applying to healthy skin as it may cause irritation. This ointment is a combination medicine used to treat skin conditions associated with scaling or overgrowth and inflammation.
• Before applying PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM, gently wash and dry the affected area. This helps to remove any dirt or debris, allowing the medication to penetrate the skin more effectively. Do not use harsh soaps or scrub aggressively, as this can further irritate the skin.
• Do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings or bandages unless specifically instructed by your doctor. Occlusive dressings can increase the absorption of the medication and potentially lead to side effects. Breathable coverings like gauze are generally preferred if a covering is needed.
• Avoid prolonged use of PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM, especially on large areas of the body or under occlusion. Long-term use can increase the risk of systemic absorption of the active ingredients and potential side effects. Follow your doctor's prescribed duration of treatment.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications, including topical products, you are using before starting PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM. Certain medications can interact and increase the risk of side effects. Also, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM is for external use only and is unlikely to interact with food. However, to avoid any potential interactions or decreased absorption, it is generally recommended to apply the ointment at a different time than consuming food or beverages, particularly if applying it to areas near the mouth.
• While PROSALIC OINTMENT 20 GM is applied topically, it's important to maintain a balanced diet to support skin health and overall well-being during treatment.
