Keralin Ointment is a topical formulation containing Benzoic Acid (12% w/w), Hydrocortisone (0.5% w/w), and Salicylic Acid (6% w/w), designed for the effective management of various dermatological conditions. Benzoic Acid serves as an antifungal and antimicrobial agent, helping to inhibit the growth of fungi and bacteria on the skin. Hydrocortisone, a low-potency corticosteroid, provides anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive effects, thereby reducing redness, swelling, and itching associated with inflammatory skin disorders. Salicylic Acid acts as a keratolytic agent, promoting the exfoliation of the stratum corneum and facilitating the removal of scales and hyperkeratotic lesions. The combination of these active ingredients makes Keralin Ointment particularly useful in treating conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, and fungal infections with inflammatory components. It is intended for topical use only and should be applied sparingly to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. Patients should avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Prolonged use or application over large body areas should be avoided to minimize the risk of systemic absorption and potential corticosteroid-related side effects. Keralin Ointment provides a multi-mechanistic approach to managing complex skin conditions, enhancing therapeutic outcomes through its combined antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and keratolytic actions.
