Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between this and Caladryl®?
Major Calamine Lotion contains the same active skin protectants (Calamine and Zinc Oxide) but does not include diphenhydramine (an antihistamine), making it a simpler option for those with sensitivities to added medications.
Does this lotion help with heat rash?
Yes, Calamine lotion is commonly used to soothe the itching and discomfort associated with heat rash and minor skin irritations.
Why do I need to shake the bottle?
Because this is a suspension, the active ingredients can settle at the bottom. Shaking well ensures the medication is evenly distributed for maximum effectiveness.
