Novasalic Ointment 15gm

Novasalic Ointment 15gm is an ointment made by Pharma Health that contains Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid 15g, a steroid and keratolytic skin preparation. It is used for psoriasis, scaly eczema and dermatitis. Pack size: novasalic ointment 15gm.

Uses of Novasalic Ointment 15gm

Novasalic Ointment 15gm ointment or lotion is used for thick, scaly and inflamed skin conditions such as psoriasis, chronic eczema and seborrhoeic dermatitis, including on the scalp. The combination helps the skin calm down and lets built-up scales lift away, so redness and itching ease. It is meant for short courses on the affected areas only, not as a general skin cream.

How Novasalic Ointment 15gm works

Betamethasone is a strong corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness and itching in the skin. Salicylic acid softens and loosens the thick layer of scales, which helps them shed and allows the steroid to reach the inflamed skin underneath more effectively.

Possible side effects

Used correctly for short periods, Novasalic Ointment 15gm rarely causes problems. Possible side effects include:

• Burning or stinging where applied
• Dryness or peeling
• Itching
• Skin thinning or stretch marks with long use
• Folliculitis (small spots around hair follicles)

Stop using it and see a doctor if the skin becomes infected, starts to ooze or the rash spreads, or if psoriasis suddenly worsens with pus-filled spots. Get urgent help for any swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Use the smallest amount for the shortest time your doctor advises, and avoid long-term use on the face, groin or skin folds.
• Do not use it as a fairness or skin-lightening cream; misuse can damage the skin permanently.
• Avoid large areas or broken skin, especially in children, as more of the medicine can be absorbed into the body.
• Keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and do not cover the area with tight dressings unless told to.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only after speaking to your doctor.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
