Metrosalic Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Salicylic Acid, which treats eczema and psoriasis. 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 Metrosalic Lotion?
Apply Metrosalic Lotion thinly to the affected areas of skin. Use as directed by your doctor or refer to the product label for dosage instructions. Typically, apply it twice or thrice daily. Wash your hands after using Metrosalic Lotion unless it is intended for treating skin infections on the hands.
Can I stop using Metrosalic Lotion when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop using Metrosalic Lotion and complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor. Even if you feel better, continued use is necessary to ensure complete treatment.
What are the precautions that need to be taken while using Metrosalic Lotion?
Metrosalic Lotion should not be used on the face. Do not exceed the recommended application duration. Avoid covering the treated area with a bandage or dressing, as this may increase absorption and the risk of side effects. Only use this medicine yourself; do not share it with others even if they have similar symptoms.
Will Metrosalic Lotion be more effective if taken more than prescribed?
No, using Metrosalic Lotion beyond the recommended dosage will not enhance its efficacy.

If you experience worsening symptoms, please contact your doctor for re-evaluation.
