Composition

Each gram of ointment contains:

• Benzoic Acid 6%

• Salicylic Acid 3%

Mechanism of Action

Ensal Ointment works through the combined action of its active ingredients:

Benzoic Acid
Benzoic Acid has antifungal and antibacterial properties. It works by creating an unfavorable environment for fungal growth, helping to stop the multiplication of fungi responsible for skin infections.

Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic agent that helps soften and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. This action improves penetration of the antifungal component and helps clear scaly, thickened skin often seen in fungal infections.

Together, these ingredients help:

• Eliminate fungal organisms

• Reduce skin scaling and thickening

• Relieve itching and irritation

• Promote faster healing of affected skin

Indications

Ensal Ointment is indicated for the treatment of several skin conditions, including:

• Tinea infections (ringworm)

• Other superficial fungal infections as prescribed by a physician

Treatment should continue for the recommended duration, even if symptoms improve earlier, to prevent recurrence of infection.
