Propysalic NF6 Ointment is a topical corticosteroid and antibiotic ointment used to treat various skin conditions, including inflammatory and non-inflammatory dermatoses.
Composition: Propysalic NF6 Ointment contains two active ingredients:
- Clobetasol (0.05% w/w): a synthetic corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system’s response.
- Neomycin (0.5% w/w): a topical antibiotic that works by killing bacteria on the skin.
Mechanism of Action: Clobetasol works by:
- Reducing inflammation by suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators
- Reducing the migration of white blood cells to the affected area
- Suppressing the immune system’s response to the allergen or irritant
Neomycin works by:
- Inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, leading to bacterial death
- Interfering with the transfer of nutrients across the bacterial cell membrane

- Inflammatory and non-inflammatory dermatoses (e.g., eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis)
- Skin allergies (e.g., allergic reactions, atopic dermatitis)
