Psorinol Ointment is an anti-psoriatic agent used to treat sub-acute or chronic psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual. This causes scaling, redness, and thickness of the skin. Psoriatic patches generally occur on the knees, elbows, scalp, and lower back.
Psorinol Ointment contains ‘dithranol’, which slows down the production of new skin cells; this helps in reducing the thickening and scaling of the skin. Psorinol Ointment helps to clear patches of psoriasis by restoring normal skin development. Thereby, Psorinol Ointment helps in treating psoriasis.
You are advised to use Psorinol Ointment for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.
