Simbiotic-B Lotion is commonly used for the management of fungal skin infections. This combination medicine belongs to a class of medications known as antifungal and corticosteroids.

In addition to managing fungal infections, this lotion is particularly useful when these infections are accompanied by inflammation and itching. The medicine works by not only clearing the underlying infection but also reducing the associated symptoms.

Consult your doctor for the proper dosage and frequency to use this lotion. It's important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine. If you notice any side effects while using this lotion, notify your doctor immediately. Make sure to continue using the lotion for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Simbiotic-B Lotion is used to treat fungal infections such as ringworm of the foot (Tinea pedis or athlete's foot), ringworm of the groin (Tinea cruris or jock itch), and ringworm of the body (Tinea corporis). It helps manage these conditions by reducing inflammation and itching while effectively combating the fungal infection causing them.

Directions for Use of Simbiotic B Lotion 25ml

Follow these steps to apply Simbiotic-B Lotion effectively:

Ensure that your skin is clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of the lotion on the affected area.
Gently rub the lotion into your skin.
Continue using this lotion for 2-4 weeks as advised by your doctor, even if you notice improvements earlier.
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying unless your hands are part of the treated areas.
Remember to consult your doctor for more specific instructions.

Simbiotic-B Lotion is applied topically.

While using Simbiotic-B Lotion, you may experience some side effects. Here are the most common ones:

Burning sensation: This is a feeling of heat or discomfort on the skin where the lotion has been applied.
Skin irritation: This can include redness, itching, or a rash on the skin area where the lotion is applied.
Erythema: This refers to redness of the skin caused by increased blood flow to the capillaries near the skin surface.
Dry skin: The lotion may cause your skin to become dry and flaky.
Secondary infections: These are new infections that occur during or following treatment of a primary infection.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Simbiotic-B Lotion. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Burning sensation: If you feel a burning sensation after applying Simbiotic-B Lotion, try using it at night so it doesn't interfere with your daily activities.
Dry skin: Moisturising your skin after applying Simbiotic-B Lotion can help manage dryness.

Simbiotic-B Lotion contains two active ingredients that work in a synergistic manner:

Clotrimazole (1%): This antifungal agent belongs to the imidazole class. Clotrimazole disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. By doing so, it increases cell permeability causing leakage of cellular contents. Clotrimazole shows a broad spectrum of activity against dermatophytes and yeasts responsible for superficial skin infections.
Beclomethasone Dipropionate (0.025%): This potent topical corticosteroid exhibits anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, and vasoconstrictive properties. It operates by suppressing the formation, release, and activity of inflammatory mediators, resulting in reduced inflammation, itching, and redness at the infected site.

Pregnancy

If you're pregnant, proceed with caution when using Simbiotic-B Lotion. It's crucial to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Nursing mothers should also be careful. It's not known if the active ingredients in this lotion are passed into breast milk. Always check with your doctor before using it while breastfeeding.

Alcohol

Interactions between alcohol and Simbiotic-B Lotion have not been reported, but as a general rule, it's always wise to discuss your alcohol intake with your doctor.

Liver

Simbiotic-B Lotion is applied topically, so liver health issues rarely affect its use. Even so, if you have a history of liver problems, it's worth discussing with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

Similarly, because it's applied externally, kidney health doesn't usually impact the use of Simbiotic-B Lotion. However, if you have any kidney health concerns, please do consult your doctor.

Using Machines & Driving

This lotion does not typically affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.

Allergy

This lotion should not be applied if you have a known allergy to either beclomethasone or clotrimazole or any other component of the formulation.

Children

The safety and effectiveness of Simbiotic-B Lotion in children haven't been established. Use in children under 12 years should only be considered if the benefits clearly outweigh potential risks.

Older Patients

Older patients can use Simbiotic-B Lotion under medical supervision as they might be more vulnerable to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Simbiotic-B Lotion Interacts with the Following Medicines:

Other Topical Corticosteroids: If Simbiotic-B Lotion is applied concurrently with other topical corticosteroids, such as hydrocortisone or prednisolone, on large skin areas, there may be an increased systemic absorption of beclomethasone. This could lead to side effects associated with systemic corticosteroid use.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known specific food interactions with Simbiotic-B Lotion.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Simbiotic-B Lotion Interacts with the Following Diseases:

Skin Infections: If you have untreated bacterial, tubercular, or viral skin infections, avoid using Simbiotic-B Lotion. These infections could worsen due to the immunosuppressive action of beclomethasone.
Hypersensitivity: If you're known to have a hypersensitive reaction to beclomethasone, clotrimazole, or any other component of the formulation, avoid using Simbiotic-B Lotion. Such use could potentially trigger allergic reactions.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the daily dose of Simbiotic-B Lotion, which you should follow carefully. The dosage could vary depending on the severity of your condition and how well you respond to the lotion. Do not alter the dosage without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally apply more Simbiotic-B Lotion than recommended, do not panic. You might experience some common side effects such as increased skin irritation or a burning sensation. However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to apply Simbiotic-B Lotion at the scheduled time, apply it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Always consult your doctor before changing any dosages.

Keep Simbiotic-B Lotion at room temperature
Protect the lotion from exposure to light and moisture.
Store it in a location out of children's reach.

To help manage fungal skin infections, maintain good personal hygiene. Regularly washing your hands and keeping your skin clean can prevent infection spread.
Wear breathable clothing and footwear. This minimises excess moisture which can promote fungal growth, especially if you're using Simbiotic-B Lotion for conditions like athlete's foot or jock itch.
