Dipsalic F 30gm

Dipsalic F from Orklavon is a medicated topical preparation that pairs a steroid with salicylic acid. It is typically used for thickened, scaly skin conditions where extra peeling action helps.

• Psoriasis patches with thick scales
• Chronic eczema with dry, scaly skin
• Other steroid-responsive conditions with scaling, as advised

Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness and itching. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic, meaning it softens and lifts off thick scales, allowing the steroid to reach the deeper layers of skin where it is needed. The two actions work hand in hand.

Use as prescribed by your doctor. Apply a thin layer to the affected area as advised, and wash hands after, unless your hands are being treated.

• Burning, stinging or dryness at the site
• Skin thinning or pigment change with long use
• Mild peeling, which is part of the action
• Rare allergic reaction

Avoid use on the face, broken skin or large body areas unless your doctor specifically advises. Not for very young children unless prescribed. Do not cover treated skin with tight dressings without medical guidance.

Store below 25 degrees Celsius, away from heat and direct light. Keep the tube tight and out of children's reach.
