Diprosalic ointment contains two active ingredients, betamethasone dipropionate and salicylic acid. Betamethasone dipropionate is one of a group of medicines called topical corticosteroids. It is classified as a “potent corticosteroid”. These medicines are put on the surface of the skin to reduce the redness and itchiness caused by certain skin problems. Salicylic acid softens the top layer of scales on the surface of the skin, which are caused by your skin problem. This allows the betamethasone dipropionate to reach the diseased skin underneath to help heal it.
How to use
Adults and children, a thin layer of Diprosalic ointment should be gently rubbed into the affected area of skin twice a day.
Precaution
Do not use Diprosalic ointment if you have an allergy to betamethasone dipropionate, salicylic acid or any of the other ingredients in this medicine. Any other skin problem as it could make it worse especially rosacea (a skin condition affecting the face), acne, dermatitis (skin inflammation) around the mouth, genital itching, nappy rash, cold sores, chickenpox or other skin conditions.
