Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Medicinal Benefits

Diprosal Ointment is a combination of two drugs, namely;  Beclometasone and Salicylic acid. Diprosal Ointment is used to reduce swelling, itching redness and dead skin cells caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that works by breaking down a protein known as keratin (a component of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin. Also, it enhances beclometasone absorption into the skin.
