About Sorfil S Ointment

Sorfil S Ointment is used to treat psoriasis vulgaris. Psoriasis is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply faster than usual. This causes scaling, redness, and thickness of the skin. Psoriasis is a chronic condition with no cure, but treatment aims to remove scales and stop skin cells from growing quickly.
 
Sorfil S Ointment is a combination of two medicines, namely: Betamethasone and Calcipotriol. Betamethasone works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Calcipotriol helps in bringing the rate of skin cell growth back to normal. Together, Sorfil S Ointment helps in treating psoriasis.
 
You are advised to use Sorfil S Ointment for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Sorfil S Ointment may cause common side effects such as itching and skin exfoliation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Do not use Sorfil S Ointment if you had a skin reaction or irritation to any steroid medicine. Consult your doctor before using Sorfil S Ointment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not use Sorfil S Ointment in more than prescribed doses or on a large area of skin for a longer duration, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor. Sorfil S Ointment is not recommended for children below 18 years.
