About Salix-12 Cream

Salix-12 Cream belongs to the class of medications called ‘Keratolytic agents’ used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy, and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes, or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up and itchy. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

Salix-12 Cream contains Salicylic acid and Urea. These two medicines are keratolytic agents, increase moisture in the skin, and dissolve the keratin (protein present on the skin's outer layer). This effect makes the dead skin cells fall off and accelerate the healing process. It also has an emollient effect and helps to soften the skin.

Use Salix-12 Cream exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side effects of Salix-12 Cream are a burning sensation, itching, and irritation in the treated area.

Side effects of Salix-12 Cream 40 gm

Rash

Skin rash caused by allergies is due to irritants or allergens. Therefore, avoid contact with such irritants.
Consult your doctor for proper medication and apply an anti-itch medication. Follow the schedule and use the medication whenever needed.
Protect your skin from extreme heat and try to apply wet compresses.
Soak in the cool bath, which gives a soothing impact to the affected area.

Hives

Itching

Here are the few steps for dealing with itching caused by drug use:

Report the itching to your doctor immediately; they may need to change your medication or dosage.
Use a cool, damp cloth on the itchy area to help soothe and calm the skin, reducing itching and inflammation.
Keep your skin hydrated and healthy with gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers.
Try not to scratch, as this can worsen the itching and irritate your skin.
If your doctor prescribes, you can take oral medications or apply topical creams or ointments to help relieve itching.
Track your itching symptoms and follow your doctor's guidance to adjust your treatment plan if needed. If the itching persists, consult your doctor for further advice.

Swelling Of The Mouth

Swelling of mouth must be reported to your doctor immediately for various underlying reasons.
Avoid consuming alcohol, dairy products and processed and fried foods.
Eat a diet containing vitamin B-rich foods like peas, bananas, oranges, etc., or take supplements.
Avoid touching your mouth with your hands frequently without washing.
Eat soft and less spicy foods that can be swallowed without chewing.

Abnormal Reaction To Drug

Stop the medication if a healthcare professional confirms or suspects an allergy.
If an allergy to the specific drug is confirmed, your doctor will usually suggest an alternative medication.
Your doctor might recommend antihistamine medications (such as diphenhydramine) to help block the chemicals in the body that cause allergic reactions and corticosteroids for more serious reactions.
In cases where the allergy is not certain, doctors might administer gradually increasing amounts of the suspected drug (graded challenges) or slowly increase the dose over time to help the person safely build tolerance (drug desensitization), all under careful medical supervision.

Skin Irritation

Consult your doctor if you experience skin redness, itching, or irritation after taking medication.
Apply cool compresses or calamine lotion to the affected skin area to reduce irritation.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help alleviate symptoms and keep your skin soothing.
Monitor your skin condition closely and promptly report any changes, worsening symptoms, or concerns to your healthcare provider.
