The drug 'Sinaflan' (ointment). Instructions for use

At the age of twelve I had itchy, flaky spots on my body: I inherited from my parents a disease that our ancestors called the devil's rose (psoriasis). Unfortunately, medicine is almost powerless in the fight against psoriasis, doctors offer many ways that in theory can cope (at the time) with the disease. The field of psychosomatics is quite extensive, and there are much more questions than answers at the moment.

Doctors advised to use the drug "Sinaflan" (ointment). Instruction of me at that time, frankly, was of little interest - I wanted quick results, and therefore I did not study it thoroughly.

The medicine "Sinaphlan" (hormonal ointment, by the way speaking) acted quickly. But for a long time to use it, according to the annotation, it is not necessary, but because I put it away (minor rashes, I decided, it will not hurt my health and appearance). It so happened that I no longer needed to use the drug, and therefore its name, and the very existence itself, was practically erased from memory.

More than ten years have passed, once I was visiting a woman with psoriasis. When it came to the disease, the name of the medicine from the past surfaced during the conversation. Her perfectly clean skin could be misleading, but it turned out that psoriasis had recently settled firmly on the body of a woman. She was able to prevent the disease, using the drug "Sinaflan" (ointment) .The instruction was nearby, and I (imperceptibly for myself) began to study folded several times a piece of paper.

That's what I got out of there. The medicine "Sinaphlan" is a hormonal synthetic drug that belongs to the group of topical glucocorticoids. The drug is available as a light yellow ointment in a tube for 10 or 15 grams for external use.
