Contains: Salicylic Acid 6% w/w
Topisal 6% Ointment contains Salicylic Acid 6% w/w and is used for hyperkeratotic and scaly skin conditions such as psoriasis.
Topisal 6% Ointment is a medicine containing Salicylic Acid 6% w/w. It is used for hyperkeratotic, scaly skin conditions such as psoriasis, chronic eczema, dermatitis with scaling, seborrhoeic dermatitis, ichthyosis, corns, calluses and helps remove thickened dead skin. It belongs to the group of medicines called Keratolytic (Salicylic acid).
For external use only. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.
The side effects seen most often with Topisal 6% Ointment are burning, stinging, redness and irritation. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Topisal 6% Ointment works.
Most side effects of Topisal 6% are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
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.
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily or as directed by a doctor. Avoid application on broken/irritated skin unless advised; wash hands after use. Do not cover with an occlusive dressing unless prescribed.
Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent. It softens and loosens the keratin in the outer skin layer, helping shed dead skin cells and reduce scaling and thickening.
Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucous membranes. Do not use on large body areas, under occlusion, or for prolonged periods without medical advice due to risk of salicylate toxicity (especially in children). Use caution in children, in patients with kidney impairment, and on inflamed/broken skin. Stop and consult a doctor if severe irritation, rash, or signs of systemic toxicity occur (ringing in ears, dizziness, nausea). Not for use on warts/moles or genital/face areas unless prescribed.
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.
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. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Store below 25°C. Keep tightly closed. Protect from heat and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
