Syncrate Ointment 20 GM is applied topically.

Syncrate Ointment 20 GM may have the following common side effects:

Burning, itching, or irritation at the application site
Skin dryness and peeling
Redness or changes in skin colour
Thinning of the skin: This means your skin might become more delicate and prone to damage.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Syncrate Ointment 20 GM. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Burning or itching: If you feel a burning sensation or itchiness after applying Syncrate Ointment 20 GM, try applying it just before bedtime so that your sleep isn't disrupted.
Skin dryness and peeling: To manage this, apply a moisturiser to the affected area about an hour after applying Syncrate Ointment 20 GM.

Syncrate Ointment 20 GM contains two active ingredients:

Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%): This potent corticosteroid works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory chemicals in your body. This action reduces redness, swelling, and itching commonly associated with skin conditions.
Salicylic Acid (3%): Known as a keratolytic agent, salicylic acid helps to soften and remove the outer layer of skin. This aids in reducing inflammation and breaking down skin scales. Additionally, it facilitates the penetration of Clobetasol Propionate into the skin for effective action.
