FAQs

Calacare Lotion is a combination of calamine, diphenhydramine, and camphor. Calamine and camphor both are astringents whereas diphenhydramine is an antiallergic, the astringents work by imparting a cooling sensation on the skin to relieve minor skin irritation. The antiallergic works by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger (histamine), thereby relieving symptoms of skin allergy.

Before you apply Calacare Lotion topical, wash the skin with soap and water. Allow the skin to dry completely.

Calacare Lotion cannot be stopped suddenly after relieving from symptoms without informing your doctor, as it may lead to the reoccurrence of symptoms.
