About Lozee Cream

CLOBETASONE belongs to a class of dermatological preparations called topical corticosteroids primarily used to treat swelling, itching redness, and irritation caused due to certain skin problems such as dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin), eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen, or rough skin) and psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches). Skin irritation occurs when an allergic reaction releases several substances that widen blood vessels, causing itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the affected area.

CLOBETASONE contains 'Clobetasone' that works by acting inside skin cells inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers responsible for causing redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Thus, CLOBETASONE treats skin allergies like allergic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. 

CLOBETASONE is for external use only. Apply CLOBETASONE as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area of the skin as advised by your doctor. Avoid contact with CLOBETASONE with the nose, mouth, or eyes. In case CLOBETASONE comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience itching, pain, irritation, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of CLOBETASONE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to CLOBETASONE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using CLOBETASONE. Wear disposable plastic gloves or wash your hands after use if you are applying CLOBETASONE to others. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) in contact with CLOBETASONE catches fire and burns easily. Do not use CLOBETASONE within skin folds and on broken skin without a doctor’s advice. Avoid contact with CLOBETASONE with the eyes, as it may lead to glaucoma (high pressure in the eye damages the optic nerve) or cataracts if CLOBETASONE gets into the eye repeatedly. Do not swallow CLOBETASONE. In case of accidental swallowing, rinse your mouth with plenty of water or consult a doctor immediately. If you have acne, rosacea (redness and often red, small, pus-filled bumps on the face), chronic leg ulcer, infected skin, or itchy skin that is not inflamed, inform your doctor before taking CLOBETASONE.
