Salisia Ds Ointment 30gm

Salisia Ds Ointment 30gm belongs to a combination medication called dermatological preparations used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. It helps to reduce swelling, itching, and redness and remove dead skin cells. Psoriasis is a chronic (long-term) skin condition in which skin cells multiply faster than normal, resulting in white scales and itchy, dry patches. Eczema is an allergic condition of the skin caused due to bacteria, viruses, or fungi. 

Salisia Ds Ointment 30gm contains Dithranol (antipsoriatic drug), Salicylic acid (peeling agent and anti-inflammatory), and Coal tar (keratolytic agents). Dithranol, also known as Anthralin, is an antipsoriatic drug that works by slowing down the production of skin cells. Salicylic acid and Coal tar are keratolytic agents that work by breaking down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) which removes dead skin cell, peel dead cells of the skin, and softens skin.

Salisia Ds Ointment 30gm is a combination of three drugs: Dithranol, Salicylic acid, and Coal tar used in the treatment of psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches). Dithranol, also known as Anthralin, is an antipsoriatic drug that slows down skin cells' production by inhibiting DNA (genetic material) replication in these cells and stops their growth and multiplication. Thus, it reduces the scaling and thickening of the skin and clears up psoriasis plaques. Salicylic acid and Coal tar are keratolytic agents that break down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and remove or peel off the dead skin cells and soften skin. Also, coal tar possesses anti-inflammatory properties and helps in reducing itching and redness.

Psoriasis: It is a chronic (long-term) skin condition in which skin cells multiply faster than normal, resulting in white scales itchy, and dry patches on the skin. It is an autoimmune condition in which our body cells mistakenly attack skin cells causing allergic conditions like scale formation, plaques on the red patches, red, bumpy, inflamed patches of the skin. 

Eczema: Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a common allergic skin condition associated with infection caused by bacteria, fungi, yeast, or viruses.
