Tarsalic Ointment 50 gm

Tarsalic 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.

Tarsalic Ointment is composed of two medicines: Salicylic acid (peeling agent) and Coal Tar (keratoplastic). Salicylic acid helps shed dead skin cells by reducing redness and swelling (inflammation). Coal tar causes the skin to shed dead cells from its top layer and slows down the growth of skin cells.

Tarsalic Ointment is for topical use only (for skin application). Tarsalic 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 Tarsalic Ointment or other medications. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Tarsalic Ointment. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes; rinse with water if contact occurs. Avoid applying Tarsalic Ointment to broken or infected skin.

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.
