About Tripletop Ointment 30gm
Tripletop Ointment 30gm is a combination medicine used to treat psoriasis. Additionally, Tripletop Ointment 30gm may also be used to treat seborrheic dermatitis. Psoriasis is a skin condition in which skin cells multiply up to 10 times faster than usual, leading to skin build-up into bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition which causes an itchy rash with flaky scales.
Tripletop Ointment 30gm is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Coal tar, and Salicylic acid. Clobetasol works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Coal tar and salicylic acid help break down keratin clumps, remove dead skin cells, and soften the skin. Together, Tripletop Ointment 30gm helps in treating psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis.
You are advised to use Tripletop Ointment 30gm for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition.

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.
Do not use Tripletop Ointment 30gm if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any steroid medicine. Consult your doctor before using Tripletop Ointment 30gm if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Tripletop Ointment 30gm in more than prescribed doses or on a large area of skin for a longer duration, as it may cause adverse effects.
