Description
Propysalic NF Ointment is a combination of Clobetasol and Salicylic Acid. This medicine is used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis (a condition where the skin cells build up, resulting in dry and scaly patches) and eczema (dry, red, itchy, and bumpy skin that causes skin irritation). It helps to treat symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching associated with such skin conditions.
Propysalic NF Ointment prevents the formation of certain chemical substances in your body that cause redness, swelling, and itching. It also softens and loosens the dry, scaly, or thickened skin, which causes shedding of the outer layer of the skin.
Propysalic NF Ointment may cause burning sensation, itching, irritation, and dryness of the skin at the site of application. Consult your doctor if these symptoms persist or worsen.
Propysalic NF Ointment is meant for external use on the skin only. Apply this medicine to the affected part of your skin as directed by your doctor. Continue using this medicine for the prescribed duration to avoid a flare-up of your symptoms.
Propysalic NF Ointment should be avoided if you are allergic to it. This medicine is not recommended for use in children below 12 years of age. Inform your doctor if you have any other skin conditions or using any other topical medications before starting the treatment. If you are pregnant or are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medicine.
