Frequently asked questions
Is Ecsis Lotion an antifungal, an antibiotic, or a steroid?
Ecsis Lotion is neither an antifungal nor an antibiotic. It is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation (redness, swelling) in various conditions. It is available as an ointment, cream, and lotion for external use. Additionally, it's available as a nasal spray or powder for inhalation.
Can I extend the treatment period with Ecsis Lotion?
You should follow your doctor's recommended dosage and duration of treatment with Ecsis Lotion. Extending the treatment beyond what is recommended may lead to hormonal imbalance in children, causing puffiness or rounding of the face and potential delays in growth and development. It’s important to consult your doctor before making any dose adjustments.
What is Ecsis Lotion used for?
Ecsis Lotion is a corticosteroid medication specifically designed for treating inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and allergic reactions. It helps reduce redness, scaling, and swelling associated with these conditions. Please note that using this medication without consulting your doctor is not recommended.
How to use Ecsis Lotion?
Apply Ecsis Lotion gently to the affected skin twice daily for a maximum of two weeks. If you do not see noticeable improvement within two weeks, consult your doctor for reevaluation.
Can I use Ecsis Lotion on broken skin?
No, Ecsis Lotion should not be applied to broken skin. It is a steroid medication that suppresses the immune system. Applying it to open wounds may delay healing and could worsen the associated condition. Additionally, steroids can cause skin atrophy which may exacerbate the condition.
Does Ecsis Lotion cause local irritation or skin reactions?
Yes, Ecsis Lotion might cause local skin reactions like burning, itching, irritation, dryness and hypopigmentation in individuals with sensitive skin. It's crucial to inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies or known reactions before starting this medication. In rare cases, the allergy could be triggered by the drug itself or added ingredients.
What precautions are necessary when using Ecsis Lotion?
Do not use Ecsis Lotion on your face. Do not exceed the recommended dosage duration and avoid applying bandages or dressings directly to the area being treated as this increases absorption of the medicine and could increase side effects. This medication should be used only under a doctor's guidance, and it should never be given to others if their condition is not exactly the same.
