CALAMINE LOTION

This brand name is authorized in Nigeria.

Active ingredients

The drug CALAMINE LOTION contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):

1
UNII SOI2LOH54Z - ZINC OXIDE
 

Zinc blocks the intestinal absorption of copper from the diet and the reabsorption of endogenously secreted copper. Zinc induces the production of metallothionein in the enterocyte, a protein that binds copper thereby preventing its transfer into the blood. The bound copper is then eliminated in the stool following desquamation of the intestinal cells.
