Sternon-SF Ointment 25 gm is a combination of two drugs, namely Betamethasone and Salicylic acid. Sternon-SF Ointment 25 gm is used to reduce swelling, itching redness and dead skin cells caused due to certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that works by breaking down a protein known as keratin (a component of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin. Also, it enhances betamethasone absorption into the skin.
