About Coalsyl-S Lotion

Coalsyl-S Lotion is used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and dandruff and to control seborrheic dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin on the scalp). Psoriasis occurs when skin cells multiply up to 10 times faster than usual, leading to skin buildup into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales.

Coalsyl-S Lotion is composed of Salicylic acid and Coal Tar. Salicylic acid increases skin moisture and dissolves the substance that causes skin cells to stick together. Coal tar removes dead cells from the skin’s top layer and slows the growth of skin cells.

Coalsyl-S Lotion has common side effects, including warmth, a burning sensation, skin irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and usually resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

Coalsyl-S Lotion is for topical use only (for skin application). Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Coalsyl-S Lotion or other medications. Do not apply a dressing or bandage to the affected area unless instructed to do so by a doctor. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Coalsyl-S Lotion.

Uses of Coalsyl-S Lotion

Coalsyl-S Lotion is used to treat psoriasis and Seborrheic dermatitis. The detailed uses of Coalsyl-S Lotion are as follows:

  • Treatment of Psoriasis: Coalsyl-S Lotion can help reduce psoriasis symptoms, such as scaling, inflammation, and erythema, by promoting skin shedding and reducing excessive cell growth.
  • Control of Seborrheic Dermatitis: Coalsyl-S Lotion can help manage seborrheic dermatitis, particularly on the scalp, by alleviating flaking and scaling while providing moisture to the affected area.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication.
  • Work the soap into a nice lather and apply it to the affected areas with your hands. Gently massage in circular motions and rinse off with clean water.
  • For external use only.

Key Benefits

  • Salicylic acid softens and sheds thick, scaly skin by acting as a keratolytic agent.
  • The calming and anti-itch properties of coal tar help ease the discomfort associated with long-term skin disorders.
  • Lessens scalp flaking, dryness, and irritation.
  • The combination of the two substances soothes irritated and swollen skin.
  • Regular application reduces thickened and rough areas of the skin, making it smoother.
  • It keeps skin healthy and stops scaly skin conditions from flaring up too often.

How Coalsyl-S Lotion Works

Coalsyl-S Lotion is composed of two medicines: Salicylic acid (peeling agent) and Coal Tar (keratoplastic). • Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates, and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases skin moisture and dissolves the substance that causes skin cells to stick together. It breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. Salicylic acid is also an anti-inflammatory agent and topical antibacterial. • Coal tar belongs to a class of drugs known as keratoplastic (thickens the keratin layers). It works by removing dead cells from the skin's top layer and slowing the growth of skin cells. This effect reduces scaling and dryness, thereby alleviating itchiness associated with various skin conditions.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

What if I have taken an overdose of Coalsyl-S Lotion

Do not apply Coalsyl-S Lotion in large amounts or use it for longer than recommended, as it does not yield quick or better results and instead increases the risk of side effects.

Drug Warnings

  • Do not use skin products containing ammoniated mercury on the same affected areas that have been treated with Coalsyl-S Lotion. Doing so can cause a foul odour, skin irritation, and a black stain on the skin.
  • Coalsyl-S Lotion may temporarily discolour blond, bleached, or tinted hair.
  • Before using Coalsyl-S Lotion, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver diseases, folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles), lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune disease), broken or infected skin, diabetes, poor blood circulation, other skin infections, or allergic reactions to Coalsyl-S Lotion and other medicines.
  • Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before starting Coalsyl-S Lotion.
  • Do not apply a dressing or bandage to the affected area unless instructed to do so by a doctor.
  • Do not go near naked flames since the fabric that comes in contact with Coalsyl-S Lotion may burn easily.
  • Washing the fabric may decrease the risk, but it does not eliminate the product.
  • Contact your doctor if the infection symptoms persist or worsen after two weeks of treatment. Before applying Coalsyl-S Lotion, clean and dry the affected area.
  • Avoid contacting Coalsyl-S Lotion with the nose, mouth, or eyes. If Coalsyl-S Lotion accidentally comes into contact with these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.
