No, Propysalic NF Ointment does not contain ethanol or rubbing alcohol. However, it contains propylene glycol, a type of alcohol derivative that helps active ingredients like clobetasol and salicylic acid penetrate your skin more effectively to treat thick or scaly patches. This is not the same as the type of alcohol used in beverages and does not cause intoxication. While it will not dry out the skin like traditional alcohol, it may occasionally cause a mild stinging sensation when applied to broken or very sensitive skin. Overall, it is generally considered alcohol-free in a clinical sense.
