Lotion Elocom

The new generation pharmaceutical product Elokom is intended for the treatment of inflammatory and allergic diseases of the scalp. Lotion Elokom has the following effects:

• relieves skin inflammation and swelling;
• relieves itching;
• slightly dries out the scalp.

Experts draw attention to the fact that although Elokom belongs to glucocorticoid drugs, the absorption of a 0.1% solution into the blood is negligible. When applied externally, the lotion is almost not absorbed into the bloodstream and does not have a systemic effect on the body.
