Eurax Cream

Active Ingredients

Crotamiton 10%

Indications

Therapeutic group: Scabicidal and antipruritic agent.

This medicine is intended for the relief of pruritus and the treatment of scabies.

Eurax provides relief of irritation for 6-10 hours after each application.

Instructions

Do not swallow! This medicine is intended for external use only.

Avoid contact with the eyes and mouth. If contact does occur, wash the eyes or mouth with

water.

Directions for use:

Pruritus: Rub in Eurax cream to the affected skin areas 2 - 3 times daily until the pruritus is

relieved. Severe cases which require longer treatment should be treated the same, since Eurax is

tolerated well by the skin. If there is no relief of the pruritus after 5 days of treatment, consult a

doctor.

Scabies: The patient should first take a warm bath and dry the skin well. Afterwards, Eurax

should be rubbed into the entire body surface (excluding the face and scalp) until no traces of the

preparation remain visible on the skin. The application should be repeated once daily, preferably

in the evening, for 3 - 5 days, depending on the response. Special attention should be paid to

sites that are particularly susceptible to infestation by parasites (e.g. spaces between fingers

and toes, wrists, axilla and genitalia). Areas where there is pus formation should be covered

with a dressing soaked in Eurax. While the treatment is in progress, the patient may take a bath

before the next application. After completion of the treatment, a cleansing bath should be taken

followed by a change of bed linen and underclothing.

Children under 3 years of age- Eurax should not be applied more than once a day. It is advised to

consult a doctor before using this preparation in infants.
