Benefits of Derobin Ointment

In Acne
Derobin unblocks pores, reduces the bacteria and inflammation behind spots and helps prevent new ones forming. Improvement is gradual over several weeks.
In Blackheads and whiteheads
Derobin clears the blocked pores that form blackheads and whiteheads and keeps new ones from forming.
In Pigmentation
Derobin lightens dark marks left behind by spots, sun exposure or hormonal changes, evening out the skin tone over weeks of regular use.
In Rough skin
Derobin smooths rough, uneven skin by speeding up the shedding of dead surface cells.
In Hair loss
Derobin slows hair loss and encourages regrowth by acting on the hair follicles. Results take months of regular use and continue only while it is used.
In Dandruff
Derobin controls the flaking and itching of dandruff by reducing the yeast and inflammation on the scalp.
In Scalp conditions
Derobin treats inflammation, scaling or infection of the scalp, relieving itching and helping the scalp return to normal.

How Derobin Ointment works

Salicylic acid is keratolytic and helps loosen and remove scales, improving penetration of other agents. Coal tar reduces epidermal proliferation and inflammation. Dithranol slows excessive skin cell growth in psoriasis.

How to take Derobin Ointment

Use exactly as prescribed. Apply a thin film on affected plaques once daily (often at night) and wash off after the advised contact time; avoid normal skin. Can stain skin/clothes; wash hands after use.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. It can cause a fall in blood pressure and a racing heart when far too much is applied to the skin. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Derobin Ointment

Most side effects of Derobin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Skin irritation
  • burning
  • redness
  • staining of skin/clothes
  • peeling
  • photosensitivity

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
