The ointment is applied in a thin layer to the affected area 2 times a day, in the morning and in the evening, and allowed to penetrate into the skin, which is easily massaged at the same time. For some patients, a single daily application may be sufficient to achieve a satisfactory result.
There is no clinical data on the use of the drug in children, therefore it is undesirable to use it in patients of this age category.
With prolonged or excessive use of local glucocorticosteroids, it is possible to suppress the pituitary-adrenal function with the development of secondary adrenal insufficiency and the appearance of symptoms of hypercortisolism, including Cushing’s disease. Overuse or prolonged use of topical salicylic acid medications can lead to symptoms of salicism. When using large doses of the drug, the keratolytic effect and allergic reactions may increase.
Pharmacodynamics:
Betamethasone dipropionate
Betamethasone dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid. When applied topically, it has a quick and long-term anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictor effect. Local treatment with corticoids is not an etiotropic treatment; in case of termination of treatment, a relapse of the disease is possible.
Salicylic acid
Salicylic acid, due to its keratolytic and exfoliating properties, makes the lower layers of the skin more accessible to the action of betamethasone dipropionate and improves its absorption.
Shelf life:
