Eczmate S Ointment

Eczmate S Ointment is a combination of Mometasone (0.1% w/w) and Salicylic Acid (3.0% w/w), designed to provide effective relief from various inflammatory skin conditions. Mometasone is a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching, while Salicylic Acid works to exfoliate and soften thickened skin. This combination makes Eczmate S Ointment ideal for treating conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and other similar skin disorders, providing both short-term and long-term relief.
