Salex lotion is used for: Removing excess skin in certain conditions, including calluses, psoriasis, and warts. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Salex lotion is a topical salicylate. It works by causing the skin to swell, soften, and then slough or peel in areas where it is applied.
Lotemax is used instead of cyclosporine drops (Restasis) by many doctors because it reduces the inflammation much faster and then can be discontinued unlike Restasis, which is used every day, possibly forever, and can become rather expensive. Restasis also can cause significant stinging upon instillation on the eye.
