Halobetasol 0.05 Percent + Salicylic Acid 3 Percent (10gm) Ointment Tube

Halobetasol 0.05 Percent + Salicylic Acid 3 Percent (10gm) Ointment Tube is prescribed to treat and alleviate itching, redness, and swelling caused by skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis. This topical ointment is a combination medication formulated with two active ingredients: Halobetasol and Salicylic Acid. Halobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids, which work as natural hormones released by the adrenal gland. It functions across the cell membrane and binds with intracellular glucocorticoid receptors. It suppresses the pro-inflammatory mediators and promotes the production of anti-inflammatory proteins by altering gene expression. It also calms the response of the immune system by managing the migration and activity of immune cells to the site of inflammation. Salicylic Acid comes under the category of keratolytic agents that work by softening the protein keratin present in the outer layer of the skin. This promotes the shedding of dead skin and reduces inflammation because of its anti-inflammatory properties.
