Saltopic-M Ointment

Saltopic-M Ointment is a topical formulation that combines Mometasone (a potent corticosteroid) and Salicylic Acid (a keratolytic agent). It is used to treat various inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. The ointment helps reduce redness, itching, swelling, and flaking of the skin. Saltopic-M Ointment offers dual-action relief by controlling inflammation and removing dead skin cells, thereby improving skin texture and appearance.
