Ultiderm Lotion belongs to the class of medications called ‘Corticosteroids’ used to treat inflammation and itching caused by skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis is the inflammation of the oily glands present in the skin. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that results in itchy and scaly rashes on the skin. Eczema is the red and itchy rashes on the skin that occur due to allergens such as pollen, food or other irritants. Dermatitis is a generalized term for inflammation of the skin. 

Ultiderm Lotion contains ‘fluocinolone acetonide’, which belongs to the class of ‘corticosteroids’. It reduces the release of inflammatory mediators (chemicals that cause inflammation). It causes constriction of blood vessels, decreasing the access of cells to the injury site. This effect helps reduce swelling, pain, itching, and discomfort.

Ultiderm Lotion is for topical use. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Ultiderm Lotion are burning, itching, irritation or dryness of the skin, pimples, change in skin colour, small white or red bumps on the skin and tiny red bumps or rash around the mouth.

Do not take Ultiderm Lotion if you are allergic to ‘fluocinolone acetonide’ or any ingredients present in it. Before taking Ultiderm Lotion, inform your doctor if you have any skin infection, a history of reaction to any steroid, liver disease or an adrenal gland disorder. Inform your doctor if you are taking prescription, non-prescription medicines, herbal products or dietary supplements. Also, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
