Product Overview

Antebate Lotion 0.05% is a topical corticosteroid lotion manufactured in Japan under strict quality standards. It contains betamethasone butyrate propionate 0.05%, a potent steroid that relieves inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching from various skin conditions. This lotion is commonly used to treat eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and related inflammatory skin disorders. The lotion is lightweight and non-sticky, spreading easily on large or hairy areas (such as the scalp) and absorbing quickly without greasy residue.

Dosage Guidelines

Use as directed by your doctor. Apply a thin layer to the affected area once or twice daily (up to 3 times if instructed). Gently massage it in until absorbed. For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, inside the nose, or mouth. Do not apply to skin with active infections or open wounds unless a doctor advises. Wash your hands after applying (unless treating your hands). Use only as long as needed; stop when your skin improves, as advised by your doctor. If your condition does not improve or worsens after 1–2 weeks, consult your doctor.

Possible Side Effects

• Local effects: Mild burning, stinging, itching, dryness, or redness at the application site.
• Skin changes: Long-term or excessive use can cause skin thinning, acne-like breakouts, increased hair growth, stretch marks, or changes in skin color (lighter or darker patches).
• Infections: Using this steroid, especially under bandages or on large areas, can sometimes worsen existing skin infections or cause new fungal/bacterial infections.
• Rare serious effects: High doses used for extended periods (particularly over wide areas or under airtight covers) or application near the eyes may lead to glaucoma, cataracts, or adrenal gland suppression. Such effects are uncommon with normal use.

If you experience persistent or severe side effects, stop using Antebate and consult a healthcare professional. Most side effects subside after discontinuing use. Seek medical attention if you notice serious symptoms like vision problems, severe irritation, or signs of infection (e.g., spreading redness, pus).

FAQ

Q: What if I forget to apply the lotion?
A: Apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for the next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your normal schedule. Do not double the amount to make up for the missed dose.

Q: How should I store this lotion?
A: Store Antebate Lotion at room temperature (below 30°C/86°F), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed, and store it out of reach of children. Do not freeze the lotion.

Q: Should I cover the area after applying the lotion?
A: Unless your doctor instructs, do not cover the treated area with airtight dressings or wraps. Covering can increase absorption and side effects. If needed to prevent mess, cover loosely with breathable gauze or cloth, and avoid plastic or tight covers.

Q: Can I use Antebate Lotion on my face?
A: It can be used on the face if prescribed, but use it sparingly and for short periods. Facial skin is sensitive; long-term use of potent steroids on the face can cause thinning or a rash. If using on the face, avoid getting it in your eyes or mouth. Follow your healthcare provider’s guidance.

Q: Do I need to avoid sun exposure while using this product?
A: No special precautions with sun are required. However, treated skin may be more delicate while healing, so it’s wise to protect it from intense sun. Use sunscreen or cover the area if you plan to be in direct sunlight for a long time to prevent irritation.
