About Halox Lotion

Halox Lotion belongs to a class of drugs called 'corticosteroids' primarily used to treat skin condition like itching redness, irritation and inflammation caused due to plaque psoriasis (scales and itchy, dry patches) or any other inflammatory skin conditions. The skin's swelling occurs when an allergic reaction or skin irritation releases several substances in the skin that widens blood vessels and cause itching, redness, pain, and swelling in the irritated area.

Halox Lotion contains Halobetasol that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibiting the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally.

Use Halox Lotion as prescribed. Halox Lotion is for external use only. Avoid contact of Halox Lotion with nose, mouth or eyes. In case Halox Lotion comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience dryness of skin, itching, pain, stretch marks, headache, burning or stinging sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Halox 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 Halox Lotion 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 Halox Lotion. Halox Lotion is not recommended for children below 12 years of age as large amounts of Halox Lotion may be absorbed through the skin easily in children and cause adverse effects. Avoid using Halox Lotion on open wounds, windburned, sunburned, irritated or dry skin. Do not cover or wrap the treated area with a bandage unless advised by your doctor as it may cause harmful effects. Do not swallow Halox Lotion. In case of accidental swallowing, consult a doctor immediately. Keep Halox Lotion away from high heat or open flame as the container may explode if it is too hot.
