Emobac 2.5%+0.1%+0.1%+2.5% Lotion

✔️ Composition of Emobac Lotion

Each gram of lotion contains:

• Liquid Paraffin BP: 25 mg
• Benzalkonium Chloride USP: 1 mg
• Chlorhexidine Hydrochloride BP: 1 mg
• Isopropyl Myristate BP: 25 mg

✔️ How Emobac Lotion Works

Emobac Lotion contains two active ingredient types:

• Benzalkonium Chloride and Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride: These antimicrobials combat skin bacteria that may worsen eczema and help prevent infections from scratching itchy skin.
• Liquid Paraffin and Isopropyl Myristate: These emollients soften, moisturize, and protect the skin by trapping moisture, restoring the skin's protective function, and preventing the drying effects of washing and typical cleansing products.

✔️ Side Effects of Emobac Lotion

Like all medications, Emobac Lotion may cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Seek urgent medical help if you encounter:

• Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
• An unusual, sudden itchy rash (hives) away from the application site
• Wheezing or difficulty breathing
• Dizziness or fainting
• A metallic taste in your mouth
• Signs of a severe allergic reaction

Rarely, the lotion may cause skin reactions (redness, irritation, or itching) at the application site, especially with excessive use in folded skin areas.

✔️ Renal Dose

No dosage adjustment is needed for renal impairment.

✔️ Pharmacology

Emobac Lotion contains two types of active ingredients:

Benzalkonium Chloride and Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride: These are antimicrobial agents that help:

• Combat bacteria on the skin that can exacerbate eczema.
• Prevent infections from scratching itchy skin.

Liquid Paraffin and Isopropyl Myristate: These are emollients that help:

• Soften, moisturize, and protect the skin by trapping moisture and restoring its natural barrier.

Emobac can be used alongside other emollients or treatments prescribed by your doctor for dry skin conditions.

✔️ Dosage of Emobac Lotion

Adults, Children, and the Elderly:
