Product Description:

Betamethasone di-propionate 0.05 % w/w / salicylic acid 3% w/w Ointment

What Betamethasone di-propionate/ salicylic acid is used for:

  • This product consists of two active ingredients; betamethasone di-propionate and salicylic acid.
  • Betamethasone di-propionate belongs to a class of medicines known as” topical corticosteroids” that acts by reducing inflammation, itchiness and redness of the skin.
  • Salicylic acid is a medicine that acts by softening the top layer of scales present on the surface of your skin, allowing betamethasone di-propionate to reach the affected skin area below the scales in order to help with your skin disease recovery.
  • This product is used for the treatment of adults and children with skin problems involving a layer of scales covering the affected skin.
  • This product will help in decreasing the itchiness and redness of your skin and removing the layer of scales.
