How Sternon S 0.05/3 % Lotion 32 ML Works?

Sternon-S Lotion contains the following components:

Betamethasone Dipropionate (0.05%): It is a corticosteroid. It reduces skin inflammation by inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, reducing symptoms like redness, itching, and discomfort associated with various skin conditions.
Salicylic acid (3%): It is a keratolytic agent. It softens and assists exfoliation of the rough and scaly skin caused by your skin problem. This allows the betamethasone to reach the diseased skin underneath to help heal it.

Pregnancy

Sternon-S Lotion should be cautiously used during pregnancy. Your doctor will prescribe this lotion only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Inform your doctor while this lotion is prescribed to you during pregnancy.

Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding mothers should cautiously apply Sternon-S Lotion. Care should be taken to avoid contact between breastfed infants and Sternon-S Lotion. Inform your doctor if you are breastfeeding when this lotion is prescribed.
