Diprosalic Scalp Application

Organon Pharma

Description

100ml, £10.10

Indications

Treatment of hyperkeratotic and dry corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses of the scalp where the cornified epithelium may resist penetration of the steroid.

Sizes Available

Contains the dipropionate ester of betamethasone, equivalent to 0.5% betamethasone, which is a glucocorticoid synthetic fluorinated corticosteroid exhibiting the general properties of corticosteroids, and 2.0% w/w salicylic acid, which has keratolytic properties. The lotion is applied topically to the scalp in the treatment of hyperkeratotic and scaling conditions, where its keratolytic action facilitates penetration of the corticosteroid.
