Consult your doctor first:

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

You should only apply Lozee Cream to your face if your doctor specifically advises you to do so. The skin on the face is thin and delicate, making it more prone to side effects such as skin thinning. If prescribed for facial use, do not use it for longer than 5 days unless instructed otherwise by your doctor. Avoid getting the medicine into your eyes, and do not cover the treated area with dressings or bandages unless directed by your healthcare provider.

As a topical steroid, Lozee Cream typically has little systemic absorption when taken as prescribed, so it does not have a major impact on the body's hormonal balance. However, excess use may result in adverse effects including Cushing’s syndrome, which is characterized by an imbalance in cortisol levels. It's important to use the Lozee Cream exactly as directed by your doctor and avoid using it for extended periods without medical supervision.
If you forget to use Lozee Cream, apply it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one. But do not apply a double amount to make up for the missed dose.
The common side effects of Lozee Cream are itching, pain and irritation or burning sensation at the site of application. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Lozee Cream should only be used in infants and children if it has been prescribed by a doctor. Children absorb topical steroids more readily than adults, increasing the risk of side effects. Do not use it for longer than recommended (generally no more than 7 days unless advised by your doctor), and avoid prolonged daily treatment, as extended use may affect normal growth and increase the risk of side effects. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
Using topical steroids for longer than recommended can lead to skin thinning, stretch marks, visible blood vessels, and skin colour changes. In rare cases, prolonged use over large areas can cause the medicine to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Talk to your doctor.
