How Tufderm-S Ointment works:

Eczema and psoriasis are effectively managed by Tufderm-S Ointment, a dual-action formulation combining Clobetasol propionate and salicylic acid. Clobetasol propionate, a corticosteroid, reduces inflammation by inhibiting the release of prostaglandins, mediators of redness, swelling, and itching. Simultaneously, salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, dissolves hardened keratin, facilitating the removal of dead skin cells and improving skin texture. This keratolytic action also enhances the penetration of Clobetasol propionate, optimizing its therapeutic effect.

FAQs on Tufderm-S Ointment

Use this medication exactly as your doctor instructs or as directed on the label. Apply a thin, but adequate, layer to the affected skin. Tufderm-S Ointment is typically applied two to three times daily to the affected areas. Wash your hands after each application, unless the hands themselves are the treatment site.
Continue using Tufderm-S Ointment as prescribed; do not discontinue treatment prematurely. Finish the entire course, regardless of symptom improvement. Complete eradication of the condition requires the full treatment regimen.
Avoid applying Tufderm-S Ointment to the facial area. Treatment duration should not exceed the recommended timeframe. Leave the treated area uncovered; bandages or dressings enhance absorption and heighten the potential for adverse reactions. This medication is for individual use only; do not share it with others, regardless of similar symptoms.
Using Tufderm-S Ointment excessively won't improve its efficacy. Excessive application increases systemic absorption, potentially causing skin thinning, weakening, and other adverse reactions. For worsening symptoms, seek medical advice.
