Ingredients

LPC (coal tar solution) 6%, salicylic acid 3% and clobetasol 0.025% in white soft paraffin.

How Ps. Plus Oint. 100gm works

Coal tar slows down the rapid growth of skin cells that causes scaling, and it has anti-itch and mild antiseptic effects. This reduces flaking, redness and itching over a few weeks of regular use.

Clobetasol reduces inflammation, redness and itching by calming the immune response in the skin.

Salicylic acid is a keratolytic, which means it loosens the bonds holding dead skin cells together so they shed more easily. This softens hard, thickened skin such as warts and corns, removes scales and helps unclog pores in acne. It also has mild anti-inflammatory properties.

Possible side effects

• This contains a strong steroid. Do not use it on the face or on large areas, or for longer than your doctor advises.
• Do not use it over large areas of skin, and keep it away from healthy skin around warts or patches.
• Do a small patch test first, and keep it away from the eyes, lips, inside of the nose and broken skin unless your doctor says otherwise.
