How Does It Work?

• Medisalic ointment works by the combined action of its two components -
• Clobetasol is a steroid that acts by blocking the synthesis of natural substance, i.e., prostaglandins which is responsible for itching, swelling and redness.
• Salicylic acid improves the condition of swelling and redness in the skin and helps in shedding the hard skin or dead skin and improves the penetration of clobetasol into the skin.

Interactions with other medicines

• Medisalic ointment is for local application on the skin and thus is less likely to interact with other medicines taken orally. However, it may interact with other topically applied medicine. Discuss it with your doctor if you are already on another topical medicine.
• There is limited information available on the interaction of Medisalic ointment with other medicines. However, as Medisalic ointment contains two different components, any interaction seen with these two components when taken alone may occur with this combination.
• Be cautious if you are taking antifungal medicines like Itraconazole, Ritonavir which is used in HIV infection. Do not apply for any other topical medicine in the area where Medisalic ointment is applied.
