Revive: function, dosage, side effects, how to use it

Use

What is the function of Revive?

Revive is a lotion that is used to treat itching and skin irritation caused by chickenpox, insect bites or stings, measles, eczema, sunburn, poison ivy, and other minor skin conditions.

Revive can be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

How do I use Revive?

For external use only. Avoid contact with the lotion in the eyes.

Shake the lotion before use. Pour the lotion on a tissue or clean cloth. Then, use the tissue or cloth to apply the lotion to the infected area. Let the medicine dry.

If Revive is applied before or after other medicinal creams, ointments, or lotions, it has the potential to eliminate other drugs. Because of this, you should try to let it sit for a few minutes before applying Revive and other skin remedies, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

If your condition worsens or doesn't improve within 7 days, or if the rash or irritation develops, stop use and consult a doctor.

Ask your doctor any questions you have about how to use this medication.
