How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Aluminum Hydroxide 16.8% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid formulation that is designed for external application to the skin. It is dispensed in a tube and provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of the active ingredient, aluminum hydroxide. This medication is typically used for the treatment of various skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and contact dermatitis.

The active ingredient, aluminum hydroxide, is an antacid that works by neutralizing the skin's pH. This action helps to reduce inflammation and irritation, providing relief from the symptoms of these skin conditions. Additionally, the ointment forms a protective barrier on the skin, preventing further irritation.

To use this ointment, apply a thin layer to the affected area of skin twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Gently massage the ointment into the skin until it is completely absorbed. It is important not to cover the treated area with a bandage or other covering unless specifically instructed to do so by your healthcare provider.

While Aluminum Hydroxide 16.8% Topical Ointment is generally well tolerated, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or a burning sensation. If these side effects occur, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider for further advice.
