Becort Lotion

Uses of Becort Lotion

Key benefits

How Becort Lotion works

Likely contains a topical corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness and itching by suppressing release of inflammatory mediators in the skin. This helps calm flare-ups and improves symptoms.

How to take Becort Lotion

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected area/scalp as directed by a doctor, usually 1–2 times daily. Use the minimum amount needed; wash hands after application; avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin unless advised.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Becort as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Becort than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
