Description
Introduction
Diprocel Ointment belongs to a group of medications known as corticosteroids, with its active ingredient being Betamethasone. It is a dermatologist-prescribed formula designed for external use. Some common side effects may include skin irritation, burning sensation, dryness, and slight redness at the site of application. If you’re looking for a reliable option from a trusted pharmacy, Diprocel is one to consider – just make sure to follow your doctor’s directions carefully. Always do a patch test if it’s your first time using it, and remember: this ointment is potent, so a little goes a long way.

Apply a thin layer of Diprocel Ointment directly onto the affected area and gently rub it in, usually once or twice daily as advised by your doctor. Make sure your skin is clean and dry before applying.
Dosage
The usual recommended dosage is a small amount applied topically 1–2 times a day. Your doctor may adjust the frequency depending on your skin’s response and condition.
Shelf Life
The typical shelf life of Diprocel Ointment is 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube or packaging.
