About PSOROLIN OINTMENT
PSOROLIN OINTMENT is an anti-psoriatic agent used to treat sub-acute or chronic psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual. This causes scaling, redness, and thickness of the skin. Psoriatic patches generally occur on the knees, elbows, scalp, and lower back.
PSOROLIN OINTMENT contains ‘dithranol’, which slows down the production of new skin cells; this helps in reducing the thickening and scaling of the skin. PSOROLIN OINTMENT helps to clear patches of psoriasis by restoring normal skin development. Thereby, PSOROLIN OINTMENT helps in treating psoriasis.
You are advised to use PSOROLIN OINTMENT for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects, such as soreness and burning sensation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Use PSOROLIN OINTMENT only on the patches of skin affected by psoriasis. Avoid using PSOROLIN OINTMENT on the face, genitals, skin folds, and underneath the breasts. PSOROLIN OINTMENT might cause staining of clothes, skin, and hair. Skin and hair staining would gradually disappear after stopping the treatment with PSOROLIN OINTMENT. However, it causes permanent staining of fabrics and plastic.

PSOROLIN OINTMENT is used to treat sub-acute or chronic psoriasis, a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual.
PSOROLIN OINTMENT slows down the production of new skin cells; this helps reduce the thickening and scaling of the skin. Thereby, PSOROLIN OINTMENT helps in treating psoriasis.
Treated skin may gradually stain brown or purple. However, this is harmless and will gradually disappear within a few days after the treatment. Blonde/pink hair may take on a pinkish tinge whilst using PSOROLIN OINTMENT on the scalp. This will grow out after treatment stops. Avoid contact of PSOROLIN OINTMENT with fabrics, plastics, furnishings, and bedclothes as it might cause permanent staining.
Consult your doctor before using PSOROLIN OINTMENT if you have been/are using corticosteroids. If you have been using topical corticosteroids regularly to treat psoriasis, it is necessary that you follow a treatment-free interval for at least a week before starting treatment with PSOROLIN OINTMENT. Plain skin moisturiser can be used in the meantime.
Do not cover the treated skin with dressings after applying PSOROLIN OINTMENT unless told by the doctor. Covering the skin can increase the amount of medicine absorbed through the skin leading to harmful effects.
Continue using PSOROLIN OINTMENT for as long as your doctor has prescribed it to you. Do not be reluctant to speak with your doctor if you experience any difficulty while using PSOROLIN OINTMENT.
Avoid using PSOROLIN OINTMENT on the face, skin folds, genitals, and underneath the breasts as the skin’s response tends to be stronger in these areas. Talk to your doctor for further advice.
