CARE CALAMINE LOTION BP 200ML

CARE Calamine Lotion BP – 200ml

Product Type: Topical Antipruritic (Anti-itch) Suspension

Pack Size: 200ml (Bottle)

Care Calamine Lotion BP is a traditional, well-trusted remedy for the symptomatic relief of mild skin irritations and itching. Formulated to British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards, it contains Calamine (15% w/v) and Zinc Oxide (5% w/v). When applied to the skin, the liquid evaporates to produce a cooling effect that distracts from the sensation of itching. It also possesses mild astringent properties, which help to dry up weeping or oozing skin conditions. It remains the "gold standard" home treatment for the spots associated with chickenpox and highly itchy rashes like nettle sting or prickly heat.

Product Characteristics:

• Instant Cooling Relief: The rapid evaporation of the liquid base provides immediate "heat" relief for inflamed skin.
• Astringent Action: Helps to dry out and protect minor wounds, blisters, or weeping rashes.
• Chickenpox Essential: Widely recommended by healthcare professionals to help children resist scratching spots, reducing the risk of secondary infection and scarring.
• Safe for All Ages: A mild formula suitable for use on infants, children, and adults.
• Protective Barrier: Leaves a fine pink film of calamine and zinc on the skin to shield against further irritation.

Directions: Shake the bottle thoroughly before use, as the active ingredients naturally settle at the bottom. Apply to the affected area using a pad of cotton wool. Note: For external use only. If you are having an X-ray, do not apply the lotion beforehand as the zinc oxide may affect the results. Avoid contact with the eyes and mouth. If the condition does not improve or worsens, seek medical advice.

Trade Benefits: Calamine Lotion is a "must-stock" staple for any pharmacy or first-aid section. Its long-standing reputation for efficacy and its low cost-per-use make it a high-volume seller, particularly during the summer months (for heat rash and bites) and during local outbreaks of childhood illnesses like chickenpox.
