Common use
Eurax is primarily indicated for the treatment of scabies, a contagious skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It is also highly effective in managing pruritus (itching) associated with conditions such as allergic reactions, insect bites, sunburn, eczema, and various other inflammatory dermatoses. Healthcare providers may recommend it for off-label uses based on clinical judgment, particularly in cases where rapid antipruritic action is required without the use of corticosteroids.
Dosage and direction
For scabies treatment: Thoroughly massage the cream into the skin from the chin down, covering the entire body, with particular attention to skin folds, between fingers and toes, and under nails. A second application is recommended after 24 hours. Clothing and bed linens should be changed 24 hours after the second application. For relief of itching: Apply a thin layer to affected areas up to 3 times daily, or as directed by a physician. Wash hands before and after application unless treating the hands. Allow the cream to absorb fully; do not cover with airtight dressings unless advised.
Precautions
Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and broken skin. Do not apply to acutely inflamed or exudative areas. Use with caution in patients with known skin sensitivities or allergies to topical products. If condition worsens or does not improve after several days of use, discontinue and consult a healthcare provider. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to crotamiton or any excipients in the formulation. Should not be used on patients with a history of allergic contact dermatitis to topical medications. Contraindicated in infants under 3 years of age unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric dermatologist.
Possible side effect
Mild and transient skin reactions may occur, including redness, burning, stinging, or irritation at the application site. Allergic contact dermatitis is rare but possible. If severe reactions such as swelling, intense itching beyond the treated area, or respiratory difficulty occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.
Drug interaction
No significant pharmacokinetic drug interactions have been reported. However, concurrent use with other topical medications (e.g., corticosteroids, retinoids) may increase risk of skin irritation; space applications by at least 1 hour. Consult a physician before using with other antipruritic or scabicidal agents.
Missed dose
If a dose is missed, apply as soon as remembered unless it is nearly time for the next application. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. For scabies treatment, adhere strictly to the 24-hour interval between applications to ensure efficacy.
Overdose
Topical overdose is unlikely due to minimal systemic absorption. Excessive application may lead to intensified local skin reactions. If accidentally ingested, seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center. Symptoms of ingestion may include nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal distress.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15-30°C). Keep tube tightly closed and away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not freeze. Discard any unused product 28 days after opening to prevent contamination or reduced efficacy.
