The product also stimulates the regeneration of the affected tissues, which has a beneficial effect on the general condition and shortens the recovery period. The anti-allergic properties of the drug are noted, which help eliminate tissue edema, severe itching and irritation.

The drug has a complex effect on the tissues in the area of ​​application, helps to eliminate the most pronounced complications, prevents the development of concomitant abnormalities from healthy tissues or internal organs.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

After applying the agent to the affected area, its therapeutic effect appears rather quickly. The active substances of the drug stimulate tissue nutrition, improve blood circulation and have pronounced anti-inflammatory properties.

Betamethasone is a glucocorticoid component. It not only helps to relieve signs of inflammation in the form of edema, redness, severe pain, but also has pronounced antihistaminic properties, which helps to cope with various diseases, including allergic origin.

The effect of the drug is enhanced by the presence of salicylic acid:

• The drug eliminates dead skin cells, which impair the absorption of hormonal substances and slow down the process of tissue repair.
• Salicylic acid has emollient properties that also improve the penetration of active ingredients into the deep layers of the skin.
• The medicine stimulates blood circulation in the affected area, which helps to eliminate edema, as well as irritation caused by inflammation. As a result, the period of formation of new cells is shortened, tissues are regenerated faster.
• Eliminates itching, which appears not only with allergic, but also with some inflammatory tissue diseases.

The drug has a complex effect, inhibits the formation of exudate, as well as the spread of the pathological focus to healthy tissues. The drug is well absorbed by the skin and penetrates into the deep layers, providing high efficiency of therapy.

The active components of the drug in small quantities penetrate into the systemic circulation. When used in areas with a violation of the integrity of the skin, there is an intensive absorption of the components and an increase in their concentration in the blood. The drug is quickly processed in the patient's liver, the decay products of the active ingredients are evacuated by the kidneys.

Violations of the urinary system interfere with the excretion process and can lead to a higher concentration of components in the body. Despite this, the risk of developing an overdose is minimal, provided the instructions are followed. In patients with extensive lesions, penetration into the blood of a large number of components of the composition of the ointment is also observed.
