Siliryl 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 do I use Siliryl Lotion as directed?
To use Siliryl Lotion effectively, apply a thin layer to the affected skin area in sufficient quantity, usually 2-3 times a day. After applying, wash your hands unless the lotion is being used on an infected area on your hand.
What should I do once my symptoms improve while using Siliryl Lotion?
Even if you feel better, it's essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor. Stopping the medication prematurely may lead to incomplete treatment of the disease.
What are the precautions I need to take when using Siliryl Lotion?
When using Siliryl Lotion, remember not to apply it on the face and do not overuse the medication beyond the advised period. Avoid applying bandages or dressings, as this may increase absorption and side effects. This medication is for personal use only; never share it with others.
Will using more than prescribed Siliryl Lotion make it more effective?
No, overusing Siliryl Lotion can lead to excessive absorption of the medicine into your body, potentially causing skin thinning or other serious side effects. If you experience increased symptoms, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
How should I store and dispose of Siliryl Lotion?
To keep Siliryl Lotion effective and safe, store it in its original container, tightly closed, following the storage instructions on the pack or label. Dispose of any unused medication responsibly to prevent accidental consumption by pets, children, or others.
