Topisal 3% Lotion

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Topisal 3% Lotion is a topical medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as salicylates. It contains Salicylic Acid as its active ingredient, formulated in a 3% concentration. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic agent, which means it helps to soften and loosen dry, scaly, or thickened skin. This medication is primarily used for treating various skin conditions where the skin has become thickened, rough, or scaly.

USES OF Topisal 3% Lotion

Topisal 3% Lotion is commonly used for the following conditions:

• Psoriasis: It helps in reducing the scaling and thickness of plaques associated with psoriasis, thereby improving the appearance and texture of the affected skin.
• Keratosis Pilaris: This is a common skin condition where small bumps develop on the skin, often on the upper arms, thighs, cheeks, or buttocks. Topisal 3% Lotion helps in smoothening the skin and reducing the rough texture associated with keratosis pilaris.
• Hyperkeratotic Conditions: It is effective in softening and removing excessive keratin (a tough protein) that builds up on the skin’s surface, leading to conditions like hyperkeratosis or thickened skin areas.

BENEFITS OF Topisal 3% Lotion

• Exfoliation and Smoothening: The salicylic acid in Topisal 3% Lotion gently exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting smoother skin texture.
• Reduction of Scaling: It helps to reduce scaling and flaking of the skin, particularly beneficial in conditions like psoriasis and keratosis pilaris.
• Improved Skin Appearance: Regular use can lead to visibly smoother and softer skin, improving the overall appearance and feel.

Topisal 3% Lotion is generally well-tolerated when used as directed, but like any medication, it may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects include:

• Skin Irritation: Mild stinging, burning, or redness at the application site.
