INTRODUCTION

Tarsalic Lotion is a scalp lotion which is used in the treatment of itching and flaking associated with conditions like psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff of the scalp. It contains Coal tar and Salicylic acid as active ingredients which help in the removal of dead skin cells.

Coal tar works by decreasing the keratinocyte (a type of skin cell which increases in diseased conditions) proliferation and slowing down the growth of skin cells. Salicylic acid works by softening the scaly patches and causes shedding of the outer layer of the affected scalp region.
