Tarsalic Ointment 50 gm

Tarsalic Ointment 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.

Tarsalic 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.

Tarsalic Ointment 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.

Tarsalic Ointment is for topical use only (for skin application). Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Tarsalic Ointment 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 Tarsalic Ointment.

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.

Tarsalic Ointment is used to treat psoriasis and Seborrheic dermatitis. The detailed uses of Tarsalic Ointment are as follows:

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

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not use skin products containing ammoniated mercury on the same affected areas that have been treated with Tarsalic Ointment. Doing so can cause a foul odour, skin irritation, and a black stain on the skin.
• Tarsalic Ointment may temporarily discolour blond, bleached, or tinted hair.
• Before using Tarsalic Ointment, 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 Tarsalic Ointment and other medicines.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before starting Tarsalic Ointment.
• 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 Tarsalic Ointment 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 Tarsalic Ointment, clean and dry the affected area.
• Avoid contacting Tarsalic Ointment with the nose, mouth, or eyes. If Tarsalic Ointment accidentally comes into contact with these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.
