HALOFLAG-S is an external lotion that contains Halobetasol Propionate 0.05% w/v, which is a super-potent corticosteroid, and Salicylic Acid 6% w/v, which is a keratolytic (scale-softening) agent. It is produced and sold by Bioglint Derma Care as a treatment for scaly, thick, inflammatory conditions of the skin, such as psoriasis and hyperkeratotic eczema.
Both active agents act in synergy. While Halobetasol treats inflammation and itching, as well as scaling due to skin cell proliferation, Salicylic Acid works to soften and exfoliate the scale for better steroid penetration into deeper skin layers. The lotion dosage form ensures good spreadability over wide areas, including hairy skin parts.
HALOFLAG-S Lotion is indicated by dermatologists for use as a topical treatment for the following conditions:
Halobetasol Propionate acts on the glucocorticoid receptors present in the skin cells to induce the expression of proteins that inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This results in a reduction in redness, inflammation, and itching. The medication constricts the small blood vessels in the skin, suppresses the skin’s immune response, and reduces the excessive proliferation of skin cells forming psoriasis.
Salicylic Acid at 6% concentration acts as a keratolytic agent to break down the links between the dead skin cells, leading to softening and desquamation of the thick scales. This helps in reducing the thickness of the psoriasis plaque and enhances the penetration of the drug.
