Habiccor Ointment 10gm is applied topically.

Habiccor Ointment 10gm contains halobetasol (0.05 %), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Receptor Activation: Halobetasol binds to specific receptors inside the cells of your skin. This triggers them into action, setting off a chain of events in your body.

• Gene Transcription: Once activated, the medication-receptor complex moves into the cell nucleus. Here, it boosts the transcription or copying of certain genes that reduce inflammation while slowing down those that cause inflammation.

• Inflammation Reduction: This process results in fewer inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes being produced. This leads to less redness and itching in the affected area.

• Store Habiccor Ointment 10gm at room temperature, not exceeding 25°C.

• Avoid exposing the ointment to extreme heat, light, or moisture.

• Do not freeze the ointment.

• Keep the cream in its original packaging until you need to use it.

• Keep the tube tightly closed after each use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• For conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis managed by Habiccor Ointment 10gm, try to maintain a balanced diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids from sources like fish or walnuts. These may help to reduce inflammation in your body.

• Try to minimise stress, as it can trigger flare-ups of skin conditions. Engage in calming activities such as yoga or meditation. Remember to consult your doctor for personal advice tailored to your condition.
