How Saltopic Products work
Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid1 and Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid2 which treat eczema and psoriasis. Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid1 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid2 is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Betamethasone + Salicylic Acid1 into the skin.

Q. When should I avoid using Saltopic Ointment?

Typically, it's applied once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor. Do not apply on the face, groin, or underarms unless directed by a doctor. Also, avoid covering the treated area with bandages or dressings unless instructed by your doctor.
Q. Can I use Saltopic Ointment with other medications?
Inform your doctor about all other topical or oral medications you are using. Combining multiple topical treatments with Saltopic Ointment may increase the risk of side effects or reduce effectiveness.
