How Ceratop Lotion works

Medicated anti-acne lotions typically work by cleansing the skin, removing excess sebum and impurities, and helping keep pores clear. Some formulations may also provide mild keratolytic/antimicrobial action to reduce comedones and acne-causing bacteria; exact mechanism depends on the active ingredients.

How to take Ceratop Lotion

For external use only. Apply a small amount on wet skin, gently massage over affected area, and rinse off; or use as directed on the label by your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken/irritated skin.

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 Ceratop 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 Ceratop 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.
