Product Description:

Beta-sitosterol ointment 0.25%

What is the use of beta-sitosterol:

• This product is used for the following indications:
• First-degree burns are burns that involve only the top layer of skin, are mild in origin, and usually heal quickly (such as sunburn).
• Second-degree burns, which are superficial and deeper burns, may not require skin grafting (removal of skin from one area to the affected area) if treated properly with this medication.
• Third degree burns (burns that affect the deep layers of the skin, sometimes reaching the tendons, bones and muscles), to reduce the painful area of skin and prepare it for non-surgical debridement and grafting.
• To reduce pain in the donor area (the area of skin from which a strip of your skin is taken to be grafted and used in the affected skin area) and to control the risk of infection at this site, which promotes skin healing.
• Surgical wounds, including obstetric wounds (resulting from childbirth and related operations).
• Chronic wounds such as diabetic foot, leg ulcers and bedsores.
• Procedures such as chemical peels, dermabrasion (a peeling technique) and laser resurfacing.
• Circumcision wounds.
• Cracked nipples or heels.
• Mucous membrane wounds such as mouth ulcers.
