Calacare Lotion

is an anti-allergic, anti-itch, and soothing skin preparation used for the relief of irritation caused by various skin conditions like rashes, insect bites, and sunburn. It is for external use only and is manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd.. 

Key Ingredients and Action
Calacare Lotion contains a combination of three active ingredients that work together to soothe the skin: 
  • Calamine (8% W/V): Acts as an astringent and drying agent, which helps dry out oozing or weeping skin lesions and forms a protective barrier over the skin.
  • Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (1% W/V): An antiallergic (antihistamine) that blocks the effects of histamine, the chemical messenger responsible for itching, redness, and swelling.
  • Camphor (0.1% W/V): Imparts a cooling sensation on the skin, which helps relieve minor skin irritation and pain, and reduces inflammation. 
Uses and Benefits
Calacare Lotion is used for various minor skin ailments: 
  • Relieves Itching and Irritation: Soothes the skin from rashes, eczema, contact dermatitis, hives, and chickenpox spots.
  • Soothes Sunburns and Insect Bites: Provides a cooling and calming effect for skin irritation caused by insect/sting bites and sunburn.
  • Dries Weeping Lesions: The astringent properties help to dry oozing or weeping areas of the skin, promoting the healing process.
  • Mild Antiseptic: Acts as a mild antiseptic to help prevent infections that might be caused by scratching the affected area. 
Important Precautions and Administration
  • External Use Only: The lotion is strictly for external use and should not be ingested or applied to open wounds or mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, nose).
  • Application: Shake the bottle well before use. Wash and dry the affected area with soap and water, then apply a thin layer of the lotion gently using your fingers or a cotton pad and allow it to dry completely.
  • Frequency: It is usually recommended to apply 2 to 4 times daily, or as directed by a doctor.
  • Discontinue Use: Stop using the lotion and contact a doctor if a rash, burning sensation, or any severe side effects like difficulty breathing occur.
  • Do Not Stop Suddenly: Consult your doctor before stopping the medication entirely to avoid reoccurrence of symptoms.
