SA 20 Ointment works as a keratolytic agent (a substance that promotes the shedding of the skin's outermost layer) that helps loosen and remove the outer, thickened layer of the skin. It breaks down the material that holds dead skin cells together, allowing scales to shed more easily. This softens rough, thickened skin and helps restore a healthier skin surface in hyperkeratotic skin disorders.
Dosage & Directions
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area as advised by a doctor/pharmacist; avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin unless directed. Wash hands after application.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
