Psoratec Solution 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.

Psoratec Solution 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.

Psoratec Solution 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.

Psoratec Solution is for topical use only (for skin application). Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Psoratec Solution 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 a doctor before starting Psoratec Solution .

Uses of Psoratec Solution

Psoratec Solution is used in the treatment of psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. The detailed uses of Psoratec Solution are as follows:

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

Key Benefits

  • Salicylic acid softens and sheds thick, scaly skin by acting as a keratolytic agent.
  • The calming and anti-itch qualities of coal tar aid in easing 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 flare-ups too often.

Directions for Use

  • Use Psoratec Solution twice a week, or as directed by your physician.
  • Apply a generous amount to the wet scalp and gently massage until a lather forms. Leave for a few minutes and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes; rinse with water if contact occurs.
Psoratec Solution 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 a 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.
