Topisal 6% Ointment – Summary

Composition & Use

Topisal 6% Ointment combines Clobetasol (a steroid) and Salicylic Acid (a keratolytic agent) to treat eczema and psoriasis. It reduces inflammation, itching, redness, and scaling while softening the skin by removing dead cells.

Key Benefits

• Eczema Relief: Soothes inflamed, itchy, and cracked skin.

• Psoriasis Management: Reduces scaly patches and slows excessive skin cell growth.

How to Use

• Apply externally only, as directed by your doctor.

• Wash hands before/after use.

• Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer.

• Avoid overuse (may cause skin thinning).

Side Effects

Common but temporary:

• Skin peeling, thinning, burning, itching, redness at the application site.

Safety Advice

• Pregnancy: Use only if prescribed (potential risks).

• Breastfeeding: Likely safe; consult a doctor.

• Alcohol: No known interaction, but moderation advised.

• Missed Dose: Apply when remembered; skip if close to the next dose.

How It Works

• Clobetasol: Blocks inflammatory chemicals (prostaglandins).

• Salicylic Acid: Exfoliates dead skin and enhances steroid absorption.

Note: Do not exceed the prescribed dose. Inform your doctor if side effects persist or worsen. Avoid alcohol during psoriasis treatment and stay hydrated.
