Locoid® Lotion is the ONLY class 5 corticosteroid indicated for pediatric patients 3 months of age and older. It has been proven to provide significant relief of all AD symptoms in pediatric and adult patients. In 89% of patients, symptoms of skin-barrier disruption were eliminated or reduced to mild. By Day 8, average pruritis-symptom scores were reduced to less than mild2.

Topical Corticosteroids are widely used in the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory skin diseases. Locoid® Lotion has a wide range of benefits which include the following:

• Easy to apply and rapidly absorbed, which in turn, makes it easy to spread over affected areas, including large and hairy areas. The cosmetic acceptability promotes patient compliance3.
• Promotes hydration and enhances penetration of the active drug.
• Non-halogenated, which allows for low risk of potential side effects.
• Unlike the majority of topical corticosteroids, Locoid® Lotion contains no irritants such as propylene glycol, lanolin, or imidurea and is formulated in a non-irritating and fragrance-free base.
