Use Gamma Lotion only on your skin. Keep it away from your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Gamma Lotion on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Gamma Lotion on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. This is because Gamma Lotion can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight.

Avoid contact with hair as Gamma Lotion has strong bleaching properties. Consult your doctor for any other query related to Gamma Lotion.
