Becort Lotion

Lotion

Used for relief of inflammatory and itchy scalp/skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis (especially where a lotion is preferred).

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.

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.

Burning or stinging, itching, dryness, irritation, redness, skin thinning with prolonged use, folliculitis, acneiform eruptions

Do not use on face, groin or underarms unless prescribed. Avoid prolonged use, large-area application, or occlusive dressings unless advised (risk of steroid side effects). Stop and consult a doctor if infection, worsening redness, swelling, pus, or no improvement occurs. Use with caution in children (higher absorption). Do not apply to open wounds. If pregnant/breastfeeding, use only if prescribed; avoid applying on/near nipple before feeding.

No major interactions expected with topical use; increased systemic steroid effects may occur if used excessively with other corticosteroids or with occlusion. Tell your doctor about other topical medicines being used on the same area.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct light. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
