Belosalik ointment for external use 0.05% + 3% 15 g.

Products might cost different amounts at a pharmacy and online. The image of the product may differ from the actual product.

A small amount of ointment should be evenly spread over the skin surface, gently rubbed in. Application frequency is twice daily; in mild cases, once daily may suffice.

The duration of continuous treatment is typically limited to 3-4 weeks. If a longer course of therapy is necessary, the medication should be used less frequently, for example, every other day. For chronic conditions, treatment should continue for some time after all symptoms have disappeared, under the supervision of a physician, to prevent disease recurrence.

Repeat courses of therapy may be conducted throughout the year.

The use of Belosalik (in the form of ointment and/or solution for external use) during pregnancy is permitted when the anticipated benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. In such cases, application should be brief and limited to small areas of skin.

During breastfeeding, the use of Belosalik is possible under strict indications; however, the product should not be applied to the skin of the breast before feeding.

With prolonged continuous use and on large skin areas, betamethasone may cause systemic side effects associated with adrenal suppression.
