Rules

Using Kartalin is not at all difficult. This medicine must be applied to the affected areas in a fairly thin layer. There is no need to rub it in. The cream should be on the skin for at least 12 hours throughout the day (per day). A positive effect can usually be achieved after 7-14 days of daily use. The entire course of therapy lasts about 2-4 months, and treatment is carried out according to a specific plan, consisting of two stages.

In parallel with the use of Kartalin cream, it is very important to adhere to the basic recommendations for treating the disease - follow a diet, avoid stress, lead a generally healthy lifestyle, do not violate the work and rest schedule, etc.

First stage

The goal of the first stage of treatment is to clear the skin of plaque until spots appear. If the damage to the skin is quite extensive, therapy should be carried out gradually. It is best to start treatment with the feet, after three days add the hands, and after another three days lubricate all affected areas.

Application scheme:

• The cream is applied 1-2 times a day every day.
• The procedures are repeated until the skin is significantly cleared of plaques.
• If there is at least one plaque, it is important to lubricate with cream all the places that were initially affected by the disease.

It is worth noting that Kartalin cream is based on solid oil; accordingly, it has a not very pleasant smell and stains clothes (bed linen, etc.). Therefore, it is better to immediately stock up on those things that you won’t mind.

Applying the medicine to the skin sometimes causes itching. The manufacturer warns about the possibility of such a reaction and assures that it is completely normal. To reduce the intensity of unpleasant sensations, about half an hour before applying the cream to the skin, thoroughly clean it with soap and boiled water, and then blot it dry.

Second phase

After the skin has cleared or only light or dark pigment spots remain on it, you should not refuse to use Kartalin. It is necessary to continue applying the cream every day once a day for a month.

Pauses in the use of the drug can lead to unexpected relapses of the disease.

Sophora

It should be noted that an effective cream for psoriasis is not always based on one substance. A striking example of this is Sophora cream. The active ingredient here is a composition of yellowish sophora, purified dried scorpion, camphor, azure, Amur cork, fruits of the Monnieri tourniquet and other substances that cannot be found in domestically produced medicines. Collected together, the components give excellent results. The cream also perfectly helps with other skin diseases - eczema, dermatitis, neurodermatitis, lichen.

The drug has passed all studies, is registered and approved for use in the Russian Federation. Purified, deionized water is used in production.

Principle of action: targets targeted areas of the skin. The upper keratinized layer of skin is exfoliated, the active substances included in the composition penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis. The itching goes away. The drug promotes skin regeneration.

Application: It is very important when using Sophora cream to stop using all other products. After taking hormonal medications, a break of two to three weeks is required before starting use so that the hormones are cleared from the body. The cream is applied directly to the skin; it should be dry and clean. Apply regularly - twice a day. Store the drug in the refrigerator for no more than 2 years.

Side effects: practically absent, acne may occur. Individual intolerance or allergic reactions to the components of the drug are also possible.

Contraindications: not recommended for use by pregnant, lactating women and in pediatric practice due to the lack of sufficient clinical data in this category of patients.

• In parallel with the use of the medicine (during the first month of therapy), take antihistamines every day, for example, Loratadine, Claritin, Cetrin, etc.
