You must wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying this medicine. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it.

Uses of Q ON Lotion

Benefits of Q ON Lotion

In Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its natural color in patches. Q ON Lotion effectively blocks that process in the skin that leads to discoloration. It also reduces any redness, rash, pain, or itchiness that may be caused by this condition. This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You should always use it as prescribed to get the full benefits.

In Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a condition where the skin cells in the body grow too quickly and form scales and dry patches. They can grow anywhere, but most appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Q ON Lotion reduces the scaly, itchy patches along with other symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, or irritation which may develop on the different parts of the body. Use it for as long as it is prescribed to get the most benefit. It may take several months to become fully effective. You should avoid drinking alcohol while having this treatment and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Side effects of Q ON Lotion

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Q ON

  • Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness)

How to use Q ON Lotion

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.

How Q ON Lotion works

Q ON Lotion is a photosensitive medication used with UV-A rays. It works by activating certain skin cells (melanocytes) and helps repigment the discolored, white patches in vitiligo. Q ON Lotion also slows down the rapid growth of skin cells in psoriasis. This reduces scaling and thickening of the skin.
