pharmachologic effect
The drug Belosalik acts as an antipruritic, anti-inflammatory, decongestant, immunosuppressive, antiallergic, antifungal, keratolytic, antiproliferative, antimicrobial agent.
The substance betamethasone dipropionate is a synthetic corticosteroid that produces an anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, vasoconstrictor, and antipruritic effect in the body.
After application to the skin, vasoconstriction occurs, itching decreases, the process of secretion of inflammatory mediators, gamma interferon, IL-1 and -2 decreases, reduces the activity of hyaluronidase and reduces the degree of damage to the vascular wall. There is an interaction of this component with specific receptors in the cytoplasm of the cell, stimulation of the synthesis of mRNA that induces the production of proteins, in particular lipocortin, which has an inhibitory effect on phospholipase A2, blocks the release of arachidonic acid and the process of biosynthesis of leukotrienes, endoperoxides, and PGs.
After applying both forms of the drug to the skin, betamethasone acts directly at the site of inflammation quickly and actively, reducing the intensity of symptoms, as well as reducing the severity of subjective sensations.
Salicylic acid produces a keratolytic effect, clearing the areas where the skin was affected from the resulting scales. As a result, betamethasone penetrates the skin better. Salicylic acid provides support for the acidic environment of the skin, while preventing the manifestation of bacterial and fungal infections.

Reviews
Elena, Moscow
I often used Belosalik ointment to treat contact dermatitis. But the price of the drug is quite high. The pharmacist recommended using its domestic analogue Akriderm SK. In terms of effectiveness, it is definitely not inferior to Belosalik.

Description of the drug
Belosalik is a white ointment with a delicate consistency without any characteristic odor. It is easily absorbed by the skin, and its active ingredients penetrate into inflammatory areas immediately after application.
The drug is included in the therapeutic regimens of patients diagnosed with acute or chronic skin diseases.
Its use ensures stable remission and prevents relapses of allergic pathologies. What does Belosalik ointment help with:
- redness and swelling of the skin;
- small rashes;
- vesicles, papules, psoriatic plaques;
- painful sensations, burning, stinging;
- skin itching;
- bubbles and blisters with liquid contents;
- thickening and roughening of the skin due to low-grade inflammation;
- keratinization of the upper epidermal layer.
The active ingredients of the ointment have a complex effect on clinical manifestations and enhance each other’s properties. Salicylic acid loosens and softens the dermis, ensuring optimal penetration of the glucocorticosteroid.
Clinical and pharmacological group
Belosalik is a hormonal product intended for external use. The ointment is included in the clinical and pharmacological group of drugs with anti-inflammatory and keratolytic activity.
pharmachologic effect
The therapeutic properties of the drug are provided by its active components. Betamethasone is a synthetic analogue of a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex.
It deactivates the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which stimulates the synthesis of mediators of pain, swelling, inflammation, and fever. The production of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid stops, since its production is also significantly reduced. As a result, allergic rashes of any intensity and localization disappear.
Belosalik is intended to eliminate almost all external symptoms of a sensitization reaction, including unbearable skin itching. Salicylic acid has the following medicinal properties:
- loosening the top layer of skin, accelerating the maturation of keratinized scales and their removal;
- inhibition of pathogenic fungi and pathogenic bacteria;
- preventing the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms into inflammatory foci;
- improving blood supply to affected tissues with nutrients and biologically active substances;
- timely removal from the epidermis of the final and intermediate products of pathological processes.
Psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis are often complicated by the development of bacterial or fungal microflora.
Salicylic acid inhibits their growth, but its concentration is not enough to destroy infectious agents. In such cases, additional treatment with antimycotics and (or) antibiotics is required.
Patients often ask dermatologists whether Belosalik ointment is hormonal or not. It contains a glucocorticosteroid, so Belosalik is included in the group of hormonal drugs. They are characterized by a wide list of contraindications, and inadequate treatment provokes side effects.
Release form and composition
The Croatian manufacturer produces the drug, packaged in 15, 30 and 40 g in aluminum tubes. The secondary packaging of the ointment is a cardboard box with instructions for use inside.
The Belosalik therapeutic line also includes a solution for external use. Unlike ointment, it is convenient to use when seborrhea affects the scalp.
In addition to the active ingredients, the composition of the ointment is represented by the following components:
- medical Vaseline;
- mineral oil.
Due to the oily, viscous consistency of these substances, a thin film is formed on the surface of the epidermis. It enhances the property of salicylic acid to prevent tissue infection.
The pharmacy assortment includes structural analogues of domestically produced Belosalik ointment. The most in demand is the Russian drug Akriderm SK, which has an identical range of applications. It should be noted that its cost is almost 3 times lower than the price of an imported product.
