scienceMechanism of Action (How it works)

expand_more

BETAsalic Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Salicylic Acid which treat eczema and psoriasis. Beclometasone is a steroid medicine. It 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 Beclometasone into the skin.

Can I use BETAsalic Ointment on large areas of skin?

expand_more

While using BETAsalic Ointment, you should avoid covering the treated area with bandages unless told by your doctor. Do not use it for longer than prescribed, and do not stop suddenly.

Is BETAsalic Ointment safe for children?
