Calak-A Lotion belongs to a class of drugs called anti-itching agents used to treat mild itching in conditions such as rashes, eczema, sunburn, stings, insect bites, chickenpox, and poison ivy. Itching is an uncomfortable and irritating sensation which causes the urge to scratch.

Calak-A Lotion contains Calamine, Aloe vera, and Light liquid paraffin. Calamine causes a cooling sensation as it evaporates on the skin. Aloe vera moisturizes and soothes skin.
