About Diprosone Lotion

Diprosone Lotion is used to prevent allergies, including swelling, itching, redness, heat, and pain caused by certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). 

Diprosone Lotion contains Betamethasone, which works by inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. 

Some people may experience skin redness, inflamed hair follicles, itching, blistering, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Diprosone Lotion 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 Diprosone Lotion or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, you are advised to consult a doctor before using Diprosone Lotion. Do not use Diprosone Lotion in more than prescribed doses or on a large area of skin for a prolonged time, as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor. If you have diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, adrenal gland or liver problems, or had a skin reaction to a steroid medicine in the past, inform your doctor before taking Diprosone Lotion.

Medicinal Benefits

Diprosone Lotion is a steroid that is used to treat swelling, itching, redness, heat, and pain caused by certain skin problems such as psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches), dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). Diprosone Lotion acts inside the skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemicals are released normally.

Directions for Use

Wash your hands before and after applying Diprosone Lotion. Take a small amount of Diprosone Lotion and apply as a thin layer on the affected area of the skin 1 or 2 times every day. Diprosone Lotion is only for external use. If you are using Diprosone Lotion on your face, avoid contact with your eyes as it may cause irritation. In case Diprosone Lotion comes into contact with eyes accidentally, rinse it with water thoroughly.
