Tarsalic Ointment 50 gm

Tarsalic Ointment is a topical medication designed to manage various skin conditions. Among the concerns it addresses are psoriasis, scaling dermatitis, hyperkeratotic skin, cracked heels, palmoplantar keratoderma, dandruff, and itching and flaking skin. The efficacy of this ointment is primarily due to its key components coal tar and salicylic acid. These ingredients play critical roles as keratolytic agents and keratoplastics respectively, promoting overall skin health by reducing inflammation, itching, and flaking.

However, the benefits of Tarsalic Ointment should be weighed against its suitability for each individual. It's not recommended for those suffering from soreness due to psoriasis or pustular psoriasis marked by small fluid-filled blisters, tenderness, and inflammation. Furthermore, caution is advised during pregnancy and breastfeeding to ensure safety.
