About Nipcare Cream

Nipcare Cream belongs to a class of drugs called ’emollients’ (skin moisturizers). Nipcare Cream is primarily used to treat excessive dryness of the skin. Also, Nipcare Cream is used to prevent and treat itching, dry skin, or any skin irritations caused by skin burns from radiation therapy, diaper rash, and others. Dry skin may be caused by loss of water, exposure to dry weather conditions, swimming in a chlorinated pool, or certain chemicals that make skin dry.

Nipcare Cream contains Lanolin. It is also known as wool wax which is a natural substance made from sheep’s wool. It works by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps in the water. Thereby moisturizing the outermost layer of skin and making it smoother and softer.

Nipcare Cream is only for external use. Apply a small amount of Nipcare Cream on the affected area and gently rub it in. Avoid contact of Nipcare Cream with nose, mouth, eyes, rectum, or vagina. In case Nipcare Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water. Some people may experience skin redness, burning, irritation, or stinging sensation. Most of these side effects of Nipcare Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Nipcare Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Nipcare Cream.
