About Diprobate Plus Lotion

Diprobate Plus Lotion is used to treat eczema, contact dermatitis and psoriasis. Eczema is a condition in which skin becomes red, itchy and inflamed due to external agents such as soaps, dyes or other irritants. Psoriasis is an autoimmune (immune system attacks healthy cells) skin disorder in which the skin becomes scaly, swelled up and itchy.

Diprobate Plus Lotion is a combination of two medicines: Betamethasone and Zinc. Betamethasone is a steroid and anti-inflammatory agent that blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy). It also helps to reduce immune response, thereby controlling inflammation. Zinc acts as an antiseptic (prevents microbe's growth) and astringent (contracts the skin cells) on the skin.

Diprobate Plus Lotion is for external (for skin) use only. You should use this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Diprobate Plus Lotion are redness, inflamed hair follicles, itching, and blistering at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Diprobate Plus Lotion if you are allergic to any contents of it or developed any skin irritation or other reaction to steroids in the past. Before taking Diprobate Plus Lotion, inform your doctor if you have skin atrophy (thinning of the skin) at the treatment site, diabetes, adrenal gland problems, liver problems and eye problems such as cataract (clouding of the eye) or glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye). Diprobate Plus Lotion should be used with caution in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Diprobate Plus Lotion is not recommended for use in children below 13 years of age.
