💡 Quick Answer — What is Elosalic Ointment?
Elosalic Ointment contains mometasone furoate 0.1% + salicylic acid 5% — a topical corticosteroid + salicylic acid keratolytic combination for plaque psoriasis and hyperkeratotic eczema (chronic, scaly, thickened skin). Apply a thin film twice daily to affected skin. Maximum continuous use: 4 weeks. Avoid face, groin, and skin folds. The salicylic acid component thins the psoriatic plaque so the steroid penetrates effectively. Sequence: emollient → Elosalic Ointment (10 min later).

What Elosalic Ointment is and how it works
Elosalic Ointment contains mometasone furoate 0.1% + salicylic acid 5%. The corticosteroid component binds the glucocorticoid receptor in keratinocytes and inflammatory cells, suppressing cytokine transcription and reducing erythema, itch, and skin proliferation. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that softens and dissolves the cement between corneocytes (desmolysis), thinning hyperkeratotic plaques and dramatically improving steroid penetration into thickened psoriatic skin. The combination is markedly more effective than steroid alone for chronic plaque psoriasis and hyperkeratotic eczema. Manufacturer: Glenmark (WHO-GMP certified).
Indicaties
- Chronic plaque psoriasis — limited body-surface area; the keratolytic component is critical for thick scaling plaques.
- Hyperkeratotic eczema — chronic, lichenified, scaly skin (palms, soles, scalp).
- Lichen simplex chronicus — thickened skin from chronic scratching.
- Pityriasis rubra pilaris — adjunct.
Hoe aan te vragen
- Wash and dry the affected area. Apply emollient first if skin is very dry; wait 10 minutes.
- Apply a thin film of Elosalic Ointment twice daily — morning and evening — to plaques only.
- Avoid the face, eyelids, axillae, genitals, and skin folds (steroid + salicylic acid + occlusion = high atrophy and absorption risk).
- Maximum continuous use: 4 weeks on a single area without medical review.
- Maximum total amount: do not exceed 60 g per week in adults.
- Avoid occlusive dressings unless specifically directed.
⚠️ Salicylic acid systemic absorption (salicylism) — Salicylic acid can be absorbed systemically when applied to large body areas, broken skin, or under occlusion — especially in children and patients with renal/hepatic impairment. Symptoms of salicylism: tinnitus, headache, nausea, hyperventilation, confusion. Limit body-surface application, do not occlude, and avoid use in young children.
Bijwerkingen
- Vaak voorkomend: mild burning, stinging, dryness, peeling at the application site.
- Minder vaak: skin atrophy with prolonged use, telangiectasia, striae, perioral dermatitis if used near mouth, contact dermatitis.
- Zeldzaam: salicylism (with extensive use), HPA-axis suppression, glaucoma if used near eyes.
Contra-indicaties
- Children under 12 (salicylism risk).
- Untreated bacterial, viral, or fungal infection of the skin.
- Acne vulgaris, perioral dermatitis, rosacea.
- Application on >20% body-surface area or under occlusion.
- Pregnancy (avoid extensive use; salicylates cross the placenta).
- Salicylate hypersensitivity.
Zwangerschap & borstvoeding
Avoid extensive use during pregnancy (salicylate absorption may affect foetal cardiovascular and renal development in late pregnancy). In breastfeeding, do not apply to the breast/nipple before feeding. Limited focal use under specialist guidance is generally acceptable.
Opslag
Store below 25 °C in the original tube. Keep tightly closed. Do not use after the printed expiry.
Veelgestelde vragen
How is Elosalic Ointment different from regular mometasone?
The salicylic acid component is the key — it dissolves the thick scale on psoriatic plaques and hyperkeratotic eczema, dramatically improving steroid penetration. Without it, steroids only partially treat the underlying inflammation in chronically thickened skin.
Hoelang duurt het voordat ik resultaten zie?
Visible improvement in scale and erythema within 7–10 days; full plaque clearance typically requires 3–4 weeks of consistent twice-daily application.
Can I use Elosalic Ointment on my scalp?
Yes — scalp psoriasis is a major indication. Apply at night, optionally with a shower cap (no plastic occlusion) for 30–60 minutes, then shampoo out. Once-daily or alternate-day frequency for scalp.
Why should I avoid the face with this product?
Both components are problematic on facial skin: the potent steroid causes atrophy, perioral dermatitis, and steroid rosacea; salicylic acid is highly irritating to thin facial skin. Use a non-keratolytic, milder steroid for facial inflammation.
Can children use Elosalic Ointment?
Generally not under 12 — children have higher relative body-surface area and more permeable skin, increasing salicylism risk. Use lower-potency steroid alone in children where indicated.
Wat als ik zwanger ben?
Avoid extensive use. Limited focal application under specialist guidance is generally acceptable. Discuss with prescriber if pregnant or planning pregnancy.
Can I apply moisturiser too?
Yes — apply emollient first, wait 10 minutes, then Elosalic Ointment. Moisturiser before improves comfort; moisturiser immediately after can amplify absorption.
How do I taper off?
After plaque clearance, step down to once-daily, then alternate days, then a steroid-free maintenance regimen (calcipotriol-only, vitamin D analogue, or phototherapy). Abrupt cessation often leads to rebound flare.
Is Elosalic Ointment safe to use long-term?
No — both components have cumulative toxicity. Maximum continuous use is 4 weeks on any one area; long-term plaque psoriasis is better managed with intermittent steroid + vitamin D analogue rotation, biologics, or phototherapy.
What strength does Elosalic Ointment come in?
See pack labeling. The combination is dosed to balance steroid potency with effective keratolysis; do not increase frequency or duration to “speed up” treatment.
