Fluzone Lotion

Fluzone Lotion is used in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. The detailed uses of Fluzone Lotion are as follows:

• Seborrheic Dermatitis of the Scalp: Fluzone Lotion helps reduce scalp inflammation, itching, redness, and flaky scales caused by seborrheic dermatitis.
• Scalp Itching and Irritation: It helps relieve persistent itching, burning, and discomfort associated with inflamed scalp skin.
• Scalp Redness and Swelling: It helps calm inflamed areas of the scalp and reduces redness and swelling during flare-ups.
• Scalp Flaking and Scaling: It helps control excessive flaking and scaling, improving scalp comfort and appearance.

Fluzone Lotion helps relieve the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis by reducing inflammation and irritation on the scalp. Regular use as prescribed helps improve scalp comfort and supports healthier-looking skin.

Benefits may include:

• Helps relieve persistent itching and scalp irritation.
• Reduces redness, inflammation, and swelling of the affected skin.
• Helps control flaking and scaling associated with seborrheic dermatitis.
• Soothes the scalp, improving comfort during flare-ups.
• Supports healthier-looking scalp skin and reduces visible symptoms.
• Improves confidence and quality of life by helping keep scalp symptoms under control.

• Fluzone Lotion is for topical (for scalp) use only.
• It is recommended to apply Fluzone Lotion once daily or as directed by your doctor.
• Check the label for instructions before using Fluzone Lotion.
• Shake the bottle well before each use. Wet your hair and scalp with water. Apply sufficient shampoo and gently massage your scalp to produce a good lather. Leave it for 5 minutes. Rinse your hair and scalp thoroughly with water.
• If Fluzone Lotion accidentally comes into contact with the nose, mouth, or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Do not apply Fluzone Lotion to broken skin or open wounds.

• Wash your scalp regularly: Use a mild or medicated shampoo recommended by your doctor to help remove excess flakes and keep your scalp clean.
• Avoid scratching your scalp: Scratching can damage the skin, worsen inflammation, and increase the risk of infection.
• Use gentle hair-care products: Avoid harsh shampoos, hair dyes, chemical treatments, and excessive heat styling during flare-ups, as these may irritate your scalp.
• Manage stress: Stress may trigger or worsen seborrheic dermatitis in some people. Relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and adequate sleep may help reduce flare-ups.
• Avoid tight head coverings: Do not wear tight caps, helmets, or shower caps over the treated area for long periods unless your doctor specifically advises you to do so, as this may increase the amount of medicine absorbed into the skin.
• Follow long-term scalp care: Seborrheic dermatitis is a long-term condition that may return even after symptoms improve. Continue using medicated shampoos or maintenance treatments only as recommended by your doctor to help reduce future flare-ups.

• For scalp use only: Apply Fluzone Lotion only to the scalp unless your doctor specifically instructs you to use it on another area of the body.
• Avoid contact with sensitive areas: Keep Fluzone Lotion away from your eyes, nose, mouth, and other sensitive areas. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
• Do not apply to untreated skin infections: Do not use Fluzone Lotion on untreated bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infections unless your doctor advises you to do so.
• Use only as prescribed: Do not apply larger amounts or continue treatment for longer than recommended, even if your symptoms persist, as this may increase the risk of side effects.
• Do not cover the treated area: Avoid covering the treated scalp with airtight dressings, shower caps, or plastic coverings unless specifically instructed by your doctor.
• Inform your healthcare provider about other scalp treatments: Tell your doctor if you are using medicated shampoos, ketoconazole shampoo, or other steroid-containing scalp products before starting Fluzone Lotion.
• Consult your doctor if: Your scalp does not improve after about 2 weeks, becomes worse, or develops signs of infection such as increasing redness, swelling, pain, or pus.
• Follow your prescribed treatment plan: This information supports, but does not replace, the advice of your healthcare professional. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the use of Fluzone Lotion.
