Diprobate Plus Lotion

Quick info

Diprobate Plus Lotion is a combination medicine used to treat skin infections or dermatitis, preventing the growth of microorganisms and relieving pain, irritation, and itchiness. Diprobate Plus Lotion is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina, rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.

How it works

Diprobate Plus Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Zinc Sulfate. Betamethasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Zinc Sulfate works as an astringent and antiseptic on the skin.
