Betasalic S 0.05/3% Lotion 30 ML is applied topically.

The activity of this lotion is attributed to two active ingredients:

• Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%): This potent synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid shows effective anti-inflammatory and antipruritic properties. Its function involves inducing proteins known as lipocortins that inhibit phospholipase A2, an enzyme involved in producing inflammation mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. By preventing the release of arachidonic acid, which is a precursor for these mediators, clobetasol propionate reduces inflammation and relieves symptoms associated with skin disorders.
• Salicylic Acid (3%): Acting as a keratolytic agent, salicylic acid helps soften and loosen dry or thickened skin, facilitating easy shedding. It enhances moisture in the skin and dissolves the intercellular cement that holds skin cells together. This action promotes skin exfoliation, unclogs pores, and aids in healing skin lesions.

• Store Betasalic S 0.05/3% Lotion 30 ML at a normal room temperature, ideally around 20° to 25°C.
• Keep it away from direct light, heat, and moisture to ensure its efficacy.
• Maintain the lotion in its original packaging until use.
• Keep this medication out of reach of children.

• Regularly moisturise your skin. Dry skin can often exacerbate conditions like psoriasis and eczema that Betasalic S 0.05/3% Lotion 30 ML is used to manage. Consider using fragrance-free, hypoallergenic moisturisers to hydrate your skin without causing irritation.
• Follow a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, nuts, and seeds. Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can support the management of inflammatory skin conditions.
