Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Pharmacological action of Belosalik lotion is due to its active ingredients. The drug has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, decongestant, antiallergic, antiproliferative, immunosuppressive, keratolytic, vasoconstrictor, antifungal, antimicrobial and local hypothermic effects.
The active substance of the drug, betamethasone, belongs to synthetic glucocorticosteroids (GCS) for external use. When betamethasone is applied to the skin surface, itching, irritation, pain decreases, and vasoconstriction of the skin occurs. Under the action of the active substance, the process of releasing inflammatory mediators (from mast cells and eosinophils), interleukins 1 and 2, gamma-interferon (from macrophages and lymphocytes) is suppressed, the activity of hyaluronidase decreases and the degree of permeability of the vascular wall decreases. Betamethasone interacts with specific receptors in the cell cytoplasm, promotes the synthesis of mRNA (matrix ribonucleic acid), which induces the formation of lipocortin and other proteins. Lipocortin inhibits phospholipase A2, is involved in blocking the release of arachidonic acid and suppressing the biosynthesis of prostaglandins,leukotrienes, endoperoxides, which contribute to the development of allergies, inflammation and other pathological processes. After application to the affected area of the skin, betamethasone, acting directly in the focus of the inflammatory process, reduces the intensity of symptoms actively and quickly.
Salicylic acid, due to its keratolytic effect, softens the skin, cleanses the affected areas from horny layers, promotes the penetration of GCS deep into the skin, and also prevents the development of fungal and bacterial infections, maintaining an acidic environment in the affected area of the skin.
