Uses of HALOVATE S Ointment 15gm are:

• Psoriasis and Eczema: Reduces redness, scaling and thickened patches of skin caused by psoriasis and eczema.
• Lichen Planus: Helps manage the itching and skin changes seen in lichen planus.

To use Halovate S Ointment 15gm correctly, please follow these steps:

• Ensure your hands and the affected area are clean and dry before application. You can wash it with soap and water, then pat it dry with a clean towel.
• Apply a thin film of the ointment on your skin using your fingertips or a clean cotton swab. The amount required will depend on the size of the affected area.
• Gently massage the product into your skin until it is fully absorbed.
• Always wash your hands after application to avoid spreading any infection.
• Consult your doctor for any specific advice regarding this medicine.

Halovate S Ointment 15gm is applied topically.

Halovate S Ointment 15gm contains two active ingredients:

• Halobetasol propionate (0.05%): This component is a synthetic corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory properties. It works by suppressing the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, reducing swelling and redness in the area where it's applied.
• Salicylic acid (3%): This agent encourages shedding skin cells from the outer layer of your skin (stratum corneum) by dissolving the 'cement' that holds these cells together. This action reduces skin thickening and improves the penetration of halobetasol into the skin layers.

Combining these two ingredients enhances efficacy in managing inflammatory and hyperkeratotic (excessive skin thickening) conditions compared to either ingredient used alone.

• Keep Halovate S Ointment 15gm in a cool place.
• Protect it from freezing temperatures.
• Store it away from direct light and moisture.
• Always keep the ointment out of reach of children.
• Remember to use the ointment within three months of opening the tube.

• If you have psoriasis or other skin conditions managed by Halovate S Ointment 15gm, include omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Foods rich in omega-3, like flaxseeds, walnuts, and fatty fish, can help manage inflammation.
• Limit alcohol consumption. Alcohol can trigger psoriasis flare-ups and may reduce the effectiveness of your medicine.
