FAQs:

What is Imograf Forte Lotion used for?

Imograf Forte Lotion is used to treat moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults who do not respond to steroids or develop side effects when using them. In atopic dermatitis, the skin’s immune system undergoes an overreaction, causing skin inflammation, leading to itchiness, redness, and dryness. Imograf Forte Lotion acts on the abnormal immune response and alters it, thereby relieving the skin inflammation and itchiness.

Is Imograf Forte Lotion safe?

Compared to other immunosuppressing medicines, Imograf Forte Lotion is a safe and effective short-term treatment for atopic dermatitis. When applied to the affected part of the skin, its absorption into the blood and body is minimal. Hence, the side effects are less compared to when taken through the oral route.

Does Imograf Forte Lotion cause cancer?

Long-term use of Imograf Forte Lotion has been found to have an increased risk of lymph node tumors called lymphoma. Some studies have found that a few patients who used Imograf Forte Lotion ointment or another similar medication developed skin cancer or lymphoma. Consult your doctor if you have to use Imograf Forte Lotion ointment for more than 6 weeks or if your eczema symptoms have not improved or are getting worse with time during your treatment.

Is Imograf Forte Lotion a steroid?

No, Imograf Forte Lotion is not a steroid. It is a medicine that modulates the working of the immune system. It is used in the treatment of eczema, most commonly in atopic dermatitis. An advantage of Imograf Forte Lotion is that it does not cause skin thinning (atrophy) or other steroid-related side effects.
