How Calminox Scalp Lotion works

How to take Calminox Scalp Lotion

For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the affected scalp area and gently massage; leave on as advised. Use the frequency and duration recommended by your doctor; avoid contact with eyes and broken skin. Wash hands after application.

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

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Warnings and precautions

Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredients. Avoid eyes, mouth and mucous membranes; rinse with plenty of water if contact occurs. Stop use and seek medical advice if severe irritation, swelling, blistering or worsening occurs. Use in children, pregnancy or breastfeeding only on medical advice. If this product contains steroids/antifungals/keratolytics, prolonged or excessive use may increase side effects—follow the label/doctor’s directions.

How to store Calminox Scalp Lotion

Expert advice for Calminox Scalp Lotion

Keep the area clean and completely dry — fungus thrives in moisture and sweat. Wear loose cotton clothing, change it daily, and wash clothes and towels in hot water. Do not share towels, and treat affected family members at the same time.
