Halo-S 3 Ointment 20 gm

Halo-S 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.

Halo-S 3 Ointment is composed of two medicines: Halobetasol propionate (corticosteroid) and Salicylic acid (peeling agent). Halobetasol 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 (softens, separates, and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolves the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate use of Halo-S 3 Ointment that suits your infection. Common side effects of Halo-S 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 Halo-S 3 Ointment or any other medications. Do not use Halo-S 3 Ointment on open wounds, blisters, and lesions. Please do not cover the affected areas with a dressing or bandage unless advised. Halo-S 3 Ointment is not recommended for use in diaper rash. Let your doctor know if you have liver/kidney diseases, diabetes, Cushing's disease (high cortisol levels), and blood circulation problems before starting Halo-S 3 Ointment. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Halo-S 3 Ointment. 

Halo-S 3 Ointment is used in the treatment of eczema and psoriasis. The detailed uses of Halo-S 3 Ointment are as follows:

• Treatment of Eczema (Atopic dermatitis): Halo-S 3 Ointment helps relieve inflammation, itching, and redness caused by eczema by blocking the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers).
• Treatment of Psoriasis: Halo-S 3 Ointment effectively reduces scaling, redness, itching, and thickening of the skin caused by psoriasis by softening and removing the dead skin cells from the affected areas.

• Generally, it should be used once or twice a day. However, for best results, follow your doctor's guidance regarding the dosage and timing.
• Apply a thin layer with clean and dry hands on the skin's affected areas. You can also apply it with a piece of clean cotton wool or a gauze swab. Gently rub the medicine into the skin.

Halo-S 3 Ointment treats skin infections, such as eczema, psoriasis. It consists of Halobetasol propionate and Salicylic acid. Halobetasol propionate is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates, and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolves the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together. Salicylic acid breaks down the clumps of keratin, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It is also an anti-inflammatory agent and topical antibacterial. Halo-S 3 Ointment removes the scaling and reduces the redness and itchiness due to skin infections.

Halo-S 3 Ointment is for topical (for skin) use only. Halo-S 3 Ointment is not recommended for use in diaper rash. Inform your doctor beforehand if you have blood circulation problems, active skin infections, and chickenpox. Prolonged use of steroid-containing medicines leads to skin sensitization and the development of resistant organisms. Do not cover the affected areas with occlusive dressings while using Halo-S 3 Ointment. Avoid applying Halo-S 3 Ointment on sunburns, lesions, blisters, and open wounds. Topical usage of corticosteroids like Halobetasol propionate in pregnant women should be used with caution under a doctor's supervision.
