Q. Should Salitone 12% Ointment be left overnight?
At the beginning of the treatment, Salitone 12% Ointment is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Salitone 12% Ointment, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.
