Composition of ointment Belosalik

Ointment Belosalik - indications for use
This drug does not act as an antifungal agent, since this property inhibits the effect of betamethasone, which leads to a weakening of immunity. Ointment forms a barrier film on the skin, which helps to prevent evaporation of endogenous moisture and protect it from penetrating exogenous.
Lubricating the skin helps to quickly remove the symptoms of the disease: edema, erythema, pain and irritation. The agent is recommended to be applied for the treatment of dermatoses and other diseases accompanied by desquamation. These include:
- red flat and asbestos lichen;
- seborrhea of the scalp;
- neurodermatitis ;
- ichthyosis and ichthyosis lesions of the skin;
- lupus erythematosus;
- psoriasis.
If you talk about hormonal or not ointment Belosalik, you need to pay attention to the fact that the drug in its composition has hormonal components. When using it, you should use caution and all doctor's recommendations. Therefore, it is released in pharmacies by prescription.
Application of ointment Belosalik
The product is used externally. A couple of droplets of the composition are applied to the skin with a thin layer and evenly distributed over its surface. Frequency of application - 2 times a day. In more light cases, you can reduce it to one. Occasionally, occlusal dressings are required, which are changed every 24 hours. The creation of a peculiar moist chamber promotes loosening of the cornified layers of the epidermis, which accelerates the process of tissue regeneration. The course is 3-4 weeks. If a longer course is prescribed, then the ointment is applied every other day. This is especially important in the fight against chronic diseases.
Especially careful should be when using bandages. They activate the absorption of substances under the skin, cause a chalk and the attachment of a secondary infection. With prolonged treatment by Belosalik on extensive surfaces, systemic reactions can occur:
- hyperglycemia ;
- pallor of the skin;
- increased intracranial pressure;
- hypokalemia;
- problems with hearing;
- dyspepsia;
- asthenic manifestations;
- tachypnea.
If the disease is accompanied by a fungal infection, the doctor additionally prescribes an antifungal drug. The duration of treatment for children should be minimal. To avoid absorption of active substances, do not use bandages.
