betamethasone valerate + salicylic acid

Beta-S is a topical combination ointment containing betamethasone valerate (0.1% w/w) and salicylic acid (3% w/w). Developed by Deurali Janta Pharmaceuticals, it is indicated for the treatment of inflammatory and keratotic skin conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. Betamethasone valerate is a potent topical corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching by acting as a glucocorticoid receptor agonist. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that softens and exfoliates the outer layer of the skin, which facilitates the penetration and absorption of the corticosteroid into the affected skin layers.
