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.
