Protar Ointment is used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis. It may also be used for neurodermatitis, hyperkeratotic skin conditions, cracked heels and keratoderma. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply up to 10 times faster than usual, leading to skin build-up into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales.

Protar Ointment 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.

Protar Ointment may cause common side effects such as a burning sensation, skin irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in Protar Ointment or other medications. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before starting Protar Ointment. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes; rinse with water if contact occurs.

Protar Ointment is used to treat Psoriasis. The detailed uses of Protar Ointment are as follows:

  • Treatment of Psoriasis: Protar Ointment can help reduce psoriasis symptoms, such as scaling, inflammation, and erythema, by promoting skin shedding and reducing excessive cell growth.
