It combines two active ingredients, coal tar and salicylic acid, to effectively treat a variety of skin conditions.

Salicylic acid, a keratolytic agent, aids in reducing the thickness of the skin's outer layer, thereby allowing the coal tar to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

This potent combination is particularly effective in treating conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, dandruff, and acne. The solution is dispensed in a dropper bottle, allowing for precise and controlled administration directly to the affected areas of the scalp. This targeted treatment delivers medication and therapeutic agents directly to the scalp for optimal results.

When using this formulation, it is crucial to follow the directions provided by your healthcare provider. Typically, the solution should be applied to the affected area of the scalp twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. If contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water.

It's worth noting that this formulation may cause skin irritation, redness, or dryness. If these side effects occur, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider. If you have any questions about Coal Tar Topical Solution 2%/Salicylic Acid 2% Scalp Solution or how it can help treat your skin condition, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
