HH Salic Ointment

HH Salic Ointment – Mometasone and Salicylic Acid for Scaly and Inflamed Skin

HH Salic Ointment is a prescription topical medicine containing Mometasone Furoate 0.1% w/w and Salicylic Acid 3.5% w/w. It is used to manage selected inflammatory skin conditions associated with redness, itching, swelling, dryness, thickening, and scaling. Mometasone Furoate is a topical corticosteroid that helps reduce skin inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic ingredient that helps soften and loosen thickened, scaly skin and remove accumulated dead skin cells. HH Salic Ointment should be applied only to the affected skin and used for the frequency and duration prescribed by a dermatologist. Prolonged or excessive application of a steroid-containing ointment may cause skin-related and systemic adverse effects.
