About Saltopic Ointment

Saltopic Ointment is used to reduce swelling, itching, redness, and dead skin cells caused by specific skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). The swelling of the skin occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widen blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain and swelling in the irritated area.

Saltopic Ointment contains Betamethasone (steroids) and Salicylic acid (anti-inflammatory/keratolytic) that work together by reducing the amount of inflammatory chemicals your body makes, thereby stopping the body’s natural immune response, which helps to control swelling and inflammation. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released typically. Salicylic acid belongs to the class of keratolytic agents that work by breaking down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells, and softens skin. Also, it enhances betamethasone absorption into the skin.

Saltopic Ointment is only for external use. Take a small amount of Saltopic Ointment on the finger and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of Saltopic Ointment with nose, mouth or eyes. In case Saltopic Ointment comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience a skin rash, inflammation (swelling and redness) of hair follicles, blistering, itching, swelling, stinging or burning sensation of at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Saltopic Ointment do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist and/or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Medicinal Benefits

Saltopic Ointment is a combination of two drugs, namely Betamethasone and Salicylic acid. Saltopic Ointment is used to reduce swelling, itching, redness, and dead skin cells caused by certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). Betamethasone 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 betamethasone absorption into the skin.
