Caladryl Solution 125ml

Caladryl Lotion interacts with the following medications:

• Other Topical Antihistamines: Using Caladryl Lotion with other topical antihistamines like hydroxyzine can increase the risk of local skin reactions and systemic absorption, leading to enhanced drowsiness or sedation.

• Topical Anaesthetics: Combining Caladryl Lotion with topical anaesthetics such as lidocaine can increase skin irritation and potential systemic absorption of both agents, which may enhance their side effects.

• Photosensitizing Agents: Diphenhydramine can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Using Caladryl Lotion with other photosensitizing agents, like certain antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline) or diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide), can further elevate the risk of sunburn or phototoxic reactions.

As a topical medication, Caladryl Lotion is not ingested and does not interact with any foods or drinks. It's applied directly to the skin, which means it doesn't get into your system in the same way oral medicines do.

Caladryl Lotion interacts with the following diseases:

• Skin lesions: If you have open wounds or broken skin, avoid applying Caladryl Lotion to these areas. The lotion might cause additional irritation or slow healing.

• Skin infections: Applying Caladryl Lotion on infected skin might exacerbate the infection or interfere with its treatment. Always consult your doctor if you have a pre-existing skin infection before using this lotion.

• Allergies: If you are allergic to any ingredient in Caladryl Lotion (calamine, diphenhydramine, or ethanol), avoid using this lotion as it can cause an allergic reaction.

The daily application of Caladryl Lotion should be as directed by your doctor. The frequency and amount may vary depending on your specific condition and how your body responds to the medication. Always adhere to the prescribed instructions, and do not apply more than recommended without doctor's advice.

If you accidentally apply too much Caladryl Lotion, you might experience mild skin dryness or flaking. Rinse the area with water. If any symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

If you miss a scheduled application of Caladryl Lotion, apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply extra lotion to compensate for a missed dose without consulting your doctor.
