Indications

Dermadrin ointment is indicated for the relief of inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. It is effective in conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.

Contraindications

Scientific Evidence

Studies have shown the efficacy of betamethasone in reducing inflammation and itching associated with various skin conditions. Salicylic acid complements this action by helping to exfoliate and soften the skin, enhancing the penetration of betamethasone.

Research published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology demonstrated the superior efficacy of betamethasone combined with salicylic acid compared to betamethasone alone in the treatment of psoriasis.

Additional Information

It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment to avoid potential side effects associated with prolonged corticosteroid use. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen after using Dermadrin ointment.

Keep the ointment out of reach of children and store it at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
