About Eclo-3 Ointment

Eclo-3 Ointment is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat eczema and psoriasis. Eczema is a skin condition associated with inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough skin patches. Psoriasis is a skin disease in which skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales.

Eclo-3 Ointment contains Clobetasol propionate and Salicylic acid. Clobetasol propionate blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. Salicylic acid causes peeling of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin.

Common side effects of Eclo-3 Ointment include itching, dryness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects are temporary and gradually resolve over time. If the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are sensitive to Eclo-3 Ointment or any other medications. Please do not cover the affected areas with a dressing or bandage unless advised. Eclo-3 Ointment is not recommended for use in the treatment of diaper rash. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before starting Eclo-3 Ointment. 

Uses of Eclo-3 Ointment

Eclo-3 Ointment is used to treat eczema and psoriasis. The detailed uses of Eclo-3 Ointment are as follows:

  • Treatment of Psoriasis: Eclo-3 Ointment helps manage psoriasis, a condition that causes red, scaly skin patches, by reducing inflammation and slowing down excessive skin cell growth.

Directions for Use

  • Apply Eclo-3 Ointment once or twice a day, as directed by your doctor. Use it at the same time each day for effective results.
  • Apply a thin layer with clean, dry hands to the affected areas of the skin. You can also apply it with clean cotton wool or a gauze swab. Gently rub the medicine into the skin.
  • Wash your hands before and after using Eclo-3 Ointment on the affected areas unless the treatment is for the hands.

Key Benefits

  • Reduces redness, swelling, and itching of the skin.
  • Helps treat psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.

  • Improves penetration of the medicine into affected areas.
  • Provides quick relief from irritation and discomfort.
  • Promotes smoother and healthier skin.
  • Helps in faster healing of inflamed skin conditions.

How Eclo-3 Ointment Works

Eclo-3 Ointment contains Clobetasol propionate (corticosteroid) and Salicylic acid (peeling agent). • Clobetasol propionate is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. • Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medicine (that softens, separates, and causes peeling of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases the skin's moisture and dissolves the substance that causes skin cells to stick together.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

What if I have taken an overdose of Eclo-3 Ointment

Do not apply Eclo-3 Ointment in large amounts or use it for longer than recommended, as it does not provide quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects.
