How it works

Prosalic 6 Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Salicylic Acid. Betamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Betamethasone into the skin.

Direction of use

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.
