Whats That
Histacalamine Lotion 125 ml belongs to the class of medication called 'astringent' or anti-allergic, primarily used to treat skin infections (cuts, wounds, small burns) and allergies. Skin infection may occur when the skin is broken, cut or wounded. An allergy occurs when foreign elements known as allergens attack and invade our body, thereby causing histamine release (a chemical messenger) that causes swelling, inflammation, redness, itchiness, watery nose, throat, and eyes.
Histacalamine Lotion 125 ml contains Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine) and Calamine (astringent). Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It directly acts on the brain and relieves allergy symptoms by preventing histamine release. Calamine is an astringent with antiseptic and soothing agent properties. So, it helps to heal wounds, cuts and burns. Collectively, both act as soothing lotions to treat skin infections.
