Dermatitis

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.

Calanim Plus Lotion is a combination of three medicines. Calamine has mild astringent and antipruritic actions. It is an anti-itch medication that works by causing a cooling sensation as it evaporates on your skin. Aloe Vera is a plant. Its extracts form a protective layer on the skin by restoring moisture, so that it feels hydrated and refreshed. Liquid Paraffin is an emollient (a substance that softens or soothes the skin). It works by preventing water loss from the outer layer of the skin. This relieves dryness and leaves the skin soft and hydrated.

If you miss a dose of Calanim Plus Lotion, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
