About PSORATOR OINTMENT

PSORATOR OINTMENT belongs to the class of medications called ‘Keratolytic agents’ used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy, and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes, or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up and itchy. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

PSORATOR OINTMENT contains Salicylic acid and Urea. These two medicines are keratolytic agents, increase moisture in the skin, and dissolve the keratin (protein present on the skin's outer layer). This effect makes the dead skin cells fall off and accelerate the healing process. It also has an emollient effect and helps to soften the skin.

Use PSORATOR OINTMENT exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side effects of PSORATOR OINTMENT are a burning sensation, itching, and irritation in the treated area. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take PSORATOR OINTMENT if you are allergic to any contents of it. Before taking PSORATOR OINTMENT, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease and poor blood circulation. Do not use this medication on skin cuts, infections, or sores. PSORATOR OINTMENT should be used with caution in pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and elderly people. It is not recommended for use in children less than 2 years. PSORATOR OINTMENT may not interact with alcohol and may not affect your ability to drive.

Medicinal Benefits

PSORATOR OINTMENT is used in the treatment of skin diseases such as eczema, psoriasis and acne that are characterized by dry, scaly and itchy skin. PSORATOR OINTMENT has keratolytic (removes dead tissue) and emollient (softens skin) effects. These effects help to moisturize the skin, remove scales and decrease itching and flaking. It is also used in the treatment of other skin conditions such as keratosis (rough, scaly patch on the skin), calluses (thickened layers of skin present often on the hands or feet) and warts (small, fleshy bumps on the skin).

Directions for Use

Gently rinse the affected area with saline or water before applying PSORATOR OINTMENT. Pat the skin and dry it with a clean cotton towel. Apply a generous amount of PSORATOR OINTMENT and spread it evenly on the affected areas of the skin to form a 1/8-inch thick layer with clean and dry hands. You can also apply PSORATOR OINTMENT with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab. Wash your hands before and after using PSORATOR OINTMENT unless the treatment is for hands.
