Advantan Fatty Ointment Benefits
- Fatty base locks in moisture for very dry or cracked skin

Dermatologists in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi prescribe Advantan Fatty Ointment for patients whose eczema worsens in Pakistan's dry winter months.
Methylprednisolone aceponate reduces the release of chemicals that cause skin swelling, redness and itching. The fatty base adds moisture to skin that is already dry or cracked.
A thin layer is usually applied once daily, and treatment is normally limited to a few weeks. Long term use on the face or in children should always be supervised by a doctor.
