About Freedom-S3 Ointment

Freedom-S3 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.

Freedom-S3 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 Freedom-S3 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 Freedom-S3 Ointment or any other medications. Please do not cover the affected areas with a dressing or bandage unless advised. Freedom-S3 Ointment is not recommended for use in the treatment of diaper rash. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before starting Freedom-S3 Ointment.

Side effects of Freedom-S3 Ointment 30 gm
  • Burning sensation is an abnormal side effect that needs medical attention. To relieve the burning feeling, your doctor may prescribe painkillers or antidepressants.

  • Change in lifestyle and improving nutrition can reduce the causes of burning sensation and provide relief.

  • Apply cool compresses or calamine lotion to the affected skin area to reduce irritation.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help alleviate symptoms and keep your skin soothing.

  • Track your itching symptoms and follow your doctor's guidance to adjust your treatment plan if needed. If the itching persists, consult your doctor for further advice.
Here are the steps to manage medication-triggered Stinging:
  • If you experience burning or stinging sensations and suspect that they may be related to medication, consult a doctor or healthcare expert to determine the cause and best course of treatment.
  • Avoid harsh products, extreme temperatures, and other potential irritants that may exacerbate burning or stinging.
  • Your healthcare professional may recommend applying a soothing or protective agent, such as a cream, gel, or ointment, to help alleviate burning or stinging.
  • Follow your healthcare professional's advice on how to care for the affected area, as gentle cleaning and care instructions may vary depending on the location and severity of the burning or stinging.
  • Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your symptoms and adjust your treatment plan as needed. If the burning or irritation persists or worsens, seek medical attention.

Directions for Use

How Freedom-S3 Ointment Works

Freedom-S3 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.
