Derobin Ointment is used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. It helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness and remove dead skin cells. It works by slowing down the production of skin cells. Also, it breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) which removes dead skin cell, peel dead cells of the skin, and softens skin. Some people may experience skin irritation or staining of the skin. Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions. Avoid contact of this medicine with normal skin, nose, mouth, eyes, skin folds, or genitals. In case, it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.

About Derobin Ointment
Derobin Ointment belongs to a combination medication called dermatological preparations used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. It helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness and remove dead skin cells. Psoriasis is a chronic (long-term) skin condition in which skin cells multiply faster than normal, resulting in white scales and itchy, dry patches. Eczema is an allergic condition of the skin caused due to bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
Derobin Ointment contains Dithranol (antipsoriatic drug), Salicylic acid (peeling agent and anti-inflammatory), and Coal tar (keratolytic agents). Dithranol, also known as Anthralin, is an antipsoriatic drug that works by slowing down the production of skin cells. Salicylic acid and Coal tar are keratolytic agents that work by breaking down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) which removes dead skin cell, peel dead cells of the skin, and softens skin.
Use Derobin Ointment as instructed by the doctor. Derobin Ointment is only for external use. Avoid contact of Derobin Ointment with normal skin, nose, mouth, eyes, skin folds, or genitals. In case Derobin Ointment comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience skin irritation or staining of the skin. Most of these side effects of Derobin Ointment do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are known to be allergic to Derobin Ointment or any other medicines, please tell your doctor.
