Neo Presol Lotion

Who is this for?

This is a combination medicine containing a steroid (methylprednisolone acetate) that reduces swelling and inflammation, and an antibiotic (neomycin sulfate) that fights bacterial infections on the skin. It is typically used as a topical preparation like a lotion or cream applied directly to the skin.

Binds to glucocorticoid receptors in the cytoplasm, translocating to the nucleus to suppress inflammatory gene expression and reduce cytokine production, while neomycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, effectively treating concurrent bacterial infection.

Is Methylprednisolone safe to take with another drug?

Apply a thin layer of the lotion (such as Neo Presol Lotion) to the affected area of skin 1 to 3 times daily, or as directed by your doctor. Gently rub it in. Do not cover the area with tight bandages unless your doctor tells you to. Wash your hands after applying unless you are treating your hands.

If you forget to apply it, use it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not apply double the amount to make up for the missed dose.

• Burning or stinging feeling where you applied it
• skin dryness or peeling
• mild itching at the application site
• thinning of the skin if used for a long time

Avoid using other steroid creams or lotions on the same area at the same time, as this can increase side effects. If you are using other skin products like antifungal creams, ask your doctor or pharmacist before combining them. Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicines, especially steroids by mouth or injection.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid leaving it in your car or near windows. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.
