Diprosalic ointment is a smooth, off-white ointment which contains the active ingredients betamethasone dipropionate 0.064 % w/w (equivalent to 0.05 % w/w betamethasone) and salicylic acid 3.0 % w/w.

It is used to treat skin conditions where the outer surface of the skin is covered by a layer of scales such as psoriasis.

This prescription-only product should be applied to the affected area topically and will remove the layer of scales and reduce the redness and itchiness caused by the skin problem.

Diprosalic ointment is also avaliable in 30g and 100g tube sizes.

How does Diprosalic Oinetment work?

Betamethasone dipropionate belongs to the class of medications known as topical corticosteroids. It is categorised as a "potent corticosteroid." These medications are applied to the skin's surface to lessen the redness and itching produced by certain skin conditions.

Salicylic acid softens the top layer of scales on the skin's surface. which are the result of your skin condition. This enables the betamethasone dipropionate to reach the damaged skin beneath and assist in its healing.
