Directions for use and doses
Externally.
Belosalik® ointment is intended for use on smooth skin. A small amount of ointment is applied to the affected areas of the skin and lightly rubbed in 2 times a day. In mild cases, once a day is sufficient.
The course of treatment is 3–4 weeks. If longer-term use is necessary, the drug should be used less frequently, for example every other day. When treating chronic diseases, treatment should be continued for some time after the disappearance of all symptoms, under the supervision of a doctor, to avoid relapse of the disease. Therapy may be repeated several times throughout the year.
Belosalic®
If signs of allergic reactions or local irritation appear when using the drug, treatment should be discontinued.
In case of a fungal or bacterial infection on the skin, additional use of an antibacterial and antifungal agent is necessary. Care must be taken to prevent contact with the eyes as cataracts and glaucoma may develop from repeated exposure. If the patient experiences symptoms such as blurred vision or other visual disturbances, it is necessary to consult an ophthalmologist. If the drug accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water.
You should avoid getting the drug on the mucous membranes, as well as using the drug in the anogenital area, in areas of extensive skin damage, especially with a violation of the integrity of the skin.
When GCS is used externally, visual impairment is observed, in which case you should consult an ophthalmologist.
Use in children under 12 years of age is possible only under medical supervision.
Children, more than adults, are at risk of suppressing the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system when using local corticosteroids due to the larger ratio of body surface area to body weight and, as a result, increased absorption of the drug. There have been reports of decreased function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, Itsenko-Cushing syndrome, growth retardation, insufficient body weight gain and increased intracranial pressure in children receiving topical corticosteroids. Inhibition of the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system in children is determined by low plasma cortisol levels and lack of response to stimulation of adrenocorticotropic hormone. Increased intracranial pressure is manifested by protrusion of the fontanelle, headaches, and bilateral papilledema.
When using the drug in children or for the treatment of lesions on the skin of the face, the duration of treatment should not exceed 5 days. The use of the drug under occlusive dressings is not recommended.
With prolonged treatment, when applied to large areas of the skin or when using occlusive dressings, systemic absorption of glucocorticosteroids and salicylic acid is possible.
During long-term treatment with the drug, it is recommended to discontinue it gradually.
Side effects
Side effects are usually reversible and mild in nature.
From the skin: hypersensitivity reaction (itching, burning or redness), acne-like changes, hypopigmentation, stretch marks, skin atrophy, hypertrichosis, secondary skin infections.
With long-term continuous uncontrolled use and application to large areas of skin: telangiectasia, systemic manifestations of side effects of corticosteroids or salicylates.
If a hypersensitivity reaction or side effects occur, therapy should be discontinued and consult a doctor.

Pharmacokinetics
A drug with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, antiproliferative, antimicrobial and keratolytic effects for external use.
Betamethasone has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antiproliferative and antipruritic effects. When applied to the surface of the skin, betamethasone has a rapid and strong effect at the site of inflammation, reducing the severity of objective symptoms (erythema, swelling, lichenification) and subjective sensations (itching, irritation, pain).
Salicylic acid, due to its keratolytic action, cleanses affected areas of scales, promotes the penetration of betamethasone into the skin, maintains the acidic environment of the skin, preventing the development of bacterial and fungal infections.
Contraindications
- Lupus.
- Skin manifestations of syphilis.
- Chicken pox.
- Viral skin infections.
- Skin post-vaccination reactions.
- Open wounds.
- Trophic ulcers.
- Rosacea.
- Acne vulgaris.
- Children up to 6 months (for ointment).
- Hypersensitivity to betamethasone, salicylic acid or any of the auxiliary components of the drug.

4 years.
special instructions
The ointment is intended for external use only on the skin and/or scalp.
Avoid contact of the ointment with the eyes and mucous membranes.
Long-term use of the ointment on the skin of the face is not recommended due to the possible development of dermatitis such as rosacea, perioral dermatitis, skin atrophy and acne.
Avoid using the drug in the anogenital area.
It is not recommended to use the drug under an occlusive dressing, except when necessary. If fungal or bacterial microflora develops on the skin, additional use of an antibacterial or antifungal agent is necessary.
Use in pediatrics
The use of the drug Belosalik in children should be as short as possible, subject to strict precautions, because in children, there is a danger of systemic absorption of a proportionally larger amount of active components due to the predominance of skin area over body weight and insufficient maturity of the epidermis. The drug should not be used in children under bandages and, especially under plasticized diapers, as this may increase the risk of adverse events.
Conditions for dispensing from pharmacies

Side effects
Side effects are usually mild.
Dermatological reactions: possible development of hypersensitivity reactions (itching, burning, hyperemia), rarely - acne-like changes, hypopigmentation, stretch marks, skin atrophy, hypertrichosis, telangiectasia, secondary skin infections.
With long-term continuous use and over large areas of skin: betamethasone can cause systemic adverse reactions associated with suppression of the function of the adrenal cortex.
If a hypersensitivity reaction or adverse reactions develop, the drug should be discontinued.
Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding
The use of the drug Belosalik (in the form of an ointment and/or solution for external use) in pregnant women is allowed in cases where the expected benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus. In such cases, the use of the drug should be short-term and limited to small areas of the skin.
During breastfeeding, the use of Belosalik is possible according to strict indications, but the drug should not be applied to the skin of the mammary gland before feeding.

Pharmacodynamics
Belosalik®lotion has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, anti-edematous, antiallergic, antiproliferative, immunosuppressive, keratolytic, antimicrobial and antifungal effects.
Betamethasone dipropionate is a synthetic corticosteroid that has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antipruritic and vasoconstrictor effects. When applied to the surface of the skin, it constricts blood vessels, relieves itching, reduces the release of inflammatory mediators (from eosinophils and mast cells), IL-1 and -2, interferon gamma (from lymphocytes and macrophages), inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase and reduces the permeability of the vascular wall. Interacts with specific receptors in the cytoplasm of the cell, stimulates the synthesis of mRNA, inducing the formation of proteins, incl. lipocortin, mediating cellular effects. Lipocortin inhibits phospholipase A2, blocks the release of arachidonic acid and the biosynthesis of endoperoxides, PGs, and leukotrienes (which contribute to the development of inflammation, allergies and other pathological processes).
Salicylic acid, due to its keratolytic action, cleanses affected areas of scales, promotes the penetration of betamethasone into the skin, maintains the acidic environment of the skin, preventing the development of bacterial and fungal infections.
