Diprosalic Ointment 30g is a private prescription item. To purchase this item you must have a private prescription from your doctor or medical profession.
Diprosalic Ointment 30g – Diprosalic Ointment contains two active ingredients, betamethasone dipropionate and salicylicacid. 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.
In adults and children, Diprosalic Ointment is used to treat skin conditions where the outer surface of the skin is covered by a layer of scales. Your ointment will remove the layer of scales and reduce the redness and itchiness caused by your skin problem.
