1. What is Eurax and what is it used for
Eurax contains the active ingredient crotamiton, a substance that belongs to the class of drugs known as
antipruritics and acaricides (action against mites). Crotamiton, when applied to the skin, acts against
itchiness. It also kills the parasite responsible for a skin infection called scabies.
Eurax is indicated for the treatment of itching when not associated with evident skin alterations:
- anal itching;
- vulvar itching (external part of the vagina);
- itching caused by allergies;
- insect bites;
- urticaria.
Eurax is also used in skin infestations due to the scabies mite.
See a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 5 days.
2. What you need to know before using Eurax
Do not use Eurax
- if you are allergic to crotamiton or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you have recently suffered from skin diseases accompanied by irritation and fluid secretion and in general in cases that require treatment with compresses.
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Eurax.
Do not use / apply Eurax:
- inside the mouth (mucosa) and avoid contact with the eyes. If this occurs, wash thoroughly with water;
- if you have wounds that are releasing fluid;
- if you have a severe form of eczema, an inflammation of the skin associated, for example, with redness and itching;
- if you have lacerated or very inflamed skin.
Take special care with Eurax:
- if you have eczematous scabies, because you must first treat the eczema and only then the scabies;
- because the use, especially if prolonged over time, of products to be applied to the skin can cause irritation and allergic reactions. If this occurs, stop treatment and contact your doctor, who will give you suitable therapy.
