Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml

Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml is a dermatological medication that used to reduce swelling, itching redness and dead skin cells caused due to specific skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). The swelling of the skin occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain and swelling in the irritated area.

Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml contains Betamethasone (steroids) and Salicylic acid (anti-inflammatory/keratolytic) that works together by reducing the amount of inflammatory chemicals your body makes thereby stopping body’s natural immune response, which helps to control swelling and inflammation. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released typically. Salicylic acid belongs to the class of keratolytic agents that works by breaking down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin. Also, it enhances betamethasone absorption into the skin.

Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml is only for external use. Take a small amount of Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml on the finger and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml with nose, mouth or eyes. In case Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.

Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml is a combination of two drugs, namely Betamethasone and Salicylic acid. Glasidip-S Lotion 60 ml is used to reduce swelling, itching redness and dead skin cells caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that works by breaking down a protein known as keratin (a component of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin. Also, it enhances betamethasone absorption into the skin.
