PSOROLIN OINTMENT 100G is an anti-psoriatic agent used to treat sub-acute or chronic psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual. This causes scaling, redness, and thickness of the skin. Psoriatic patches generally occur on the knees, elbows, scalp, and lower back.
PSOROLIN OINTMENT 100G contains ‘dithranol’, which slows down the production of new skin cells; this helps in reducing the thickening and scaling of the skin. PSOROLIN OINTMENT 100G helps to clear patches of psoriasis by restoring normal skin development. Thereby, PSOROLIN OINTMENT 100G helps in treating psoriasis.
You are advised to use PSOROLIN OINTMENT 100G for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects, such as soreness and burning sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Use PSOROLIN OINTMENT 100G only on the patches of skin affected by psoriasis.
