Indications
Calamine + Zinc Oxide + Glycerine lotion is used to ease pain, itching and discomfort from minor skin irritations caused by poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac. It also helps dry up the oozing and weeping that these plants can cause on the skin.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Calamine has a mild astringent action and also helps relieve itching. Zinc oxide is astringent too, and it soothes and protects the skin, so it's used in topical preparations for eczema, slight excoriations, wounds and haemorrhoids. It reflects ultraviolet radiation as well, which means it can work as a physical sunscreen.
