Amwisal 3% Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Salicylic Acid. Clobetasol is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Salicylic Acid is a keratolytic medicine which breaks down keratin clumps, removes dead skin cells and softens the skin. It also enhances the absorption of Clobetasol into the skin.
How to use Amwisal 3% Lotion?
Apply Amwisal 3% Lotion thinly and in sufficient quantity to cover the affected areas. Follow the directions given by your doctor or provided on the medicine packaging. Usually, apply two or three times a day to the affected skin areas. Wash hands after using Amwisal 3% Lotion unless it is used for treating skin infection on the hands.
Can I stop using Amwisal 3% Lotion when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop using Amwisal 3% Lotion and complete the full course of treatment, even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the disease is completely treated.
What are the precautions that need to be taken while using Amwisal 3% Lotion?
Amwisal 3% Lotion should not be used on the face. Do not use the medication for longer than the advised periods of time. Avoid applying a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this may increase absorption and risk of side effects. This medicine should only be used by the patient and never given to other people, even if their condition appears similar.
Will Amwisal 3% Lotion be more effective if taken more than prescribed?
No, using Amwisal 3% Lotion for a longer duration will not increase its effectiveness.
