About Salisone Lotion
Salisone Lotion 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.
Salisone Lotion 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.
Salisone Lotion is only for external use. Take a small amount of Salisone Lotion on the finger and apply as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of Salisone Lotion with nose, mouth or eyes. In case Salisone Lotion comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience a skin rash, inflammation (swelling and redness) of hair follicles, blistering, itching, swelling, stinging or burning sensation of at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Salisone Lotion do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist and/or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are known to be allergic to Salisone Lotion or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Salisone Lotion. Do not use Salisone Lotion in more than prescribed doses, on large areas of the body or for a prolonged time as it may change the levels of some hormones in the body. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with plasters or bandages. Avoid using Salisone Lotion for more than five days in children and on the face.
Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Salisone Lotion catches fire and burns quickly. If you have rosacea (redness and often red, small, pus-filled bumps on the face), psoriasis, acne, dermatitis (redness and swelling of the skin) around the mouth, chickenpox, cold sores, nappy rash, genital itching or other skin problems, glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, adrenal gland, liver or blood circulation problems, inform your doctor before taking Salisone Lotion.
Uses of Salisone Lotion
Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Salisone Lotion is a combination of two drugs, namely Betamethasone and Salicylic acid. Salisone Lotion 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.
