Composition

Each gram of ointment contains:

• Benzoic Acid 6%

• Salicylic Acid 3%

Therapeutic Class

• Topical antifungal agent

• Keratolytic

• Anti-infective dermatological preparation

Pharmacology and Mechanism of Action

Benzoic Acid acts as an antifungal agent by inhibiting fungal growth and multiplication. It has a mild fungistatic effect that helps prevent the spread of dermatophytes on the skin.

Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic agent that helps soften and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. By promoting exfoliation, it allows better penetration of benzoic acid into the affected skin, improving antifungal efficacy. Additionally, salicylic acid helps reduce scaling, thickened skin, and inflammation commonly associated with fungal infections.

The combined effect of these two agents ensures both eradication of fungal pathogens and restoration of healthy skin structure.

BS Ointment 6%+3% is indicated for the topical treatment of:

• Tinea corporis (ringworm)

Dosage and Administration

Apply a thin layer of BS Ointment to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician. The skin should be cleaned and dried before application.
