About Lozee Cream

Lozee Cream is used to treat swelling, itching, redness, and irritation caused by 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.

Lozee Cream 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, Lozee Cream treats skin allergies like allergic dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis. 

Use Lozee Cream as prescribed. Lozee Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact of Lozee Cream with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case Lozee Cream 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 Lozee Cream 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 Lozee Cream 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 Lozee Cream. Wear disposable plastic gloves or wash your hands after use if you are applying Lozee Cream for others. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) in contact with Lozee Cream catches fire and burns easily. Do not use Lozee Cream within skin folds and on broken skin without a doctor’s advice. Avoid contact of Lozee Cream with eyes, as it may lead to glaucoma (high pressure in the eye damages the optic nerve) or cataracts if Lozee Cream gets into the eye repeatedly. Do not swallow Lozee Cream. 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 Lozee Cream.
