According to Eurax lotion information, the Erax lotion is a topical preparation with low to medium levels of viscosity intended for use to be applied on unbroken skin. Most lotions available come in oil-in-water emulsions but can come as well in water-in-oil types. Depending on the purpose, they may be applied unto the skin with a clean cloth, gauze, cotton wool, or bare hands.

Also according to Eurax lotion information, important to lotion emulsions are the oily and aqueous phases, an emulgent used in preventing the two phases from separating, and drug substances when applicable. A number of other ingredients like glycerol, dyes, fragrances, petroleum jelly, proteins, preservatives, and stabilizers are also commonly added to them.

Lotion use

Because of its topical nature, as what Eurax utilizes according to Eurax lotion information, lotions can be used as antibiotics, antiseptics, antifungals, corticosteroids, anti-acne medication, and as protective or soothing agents.

Advantage of lotions

It is quite common, according to Eurax lotion information, for medications to be formulated into different topical forms as ointment, cream, or lotion. Creams are the most convenient to use compared to the other two but can be inappropriate for use on hairy areas of the body. As such, since a lotion is less viscous, it is quite comfortable for use on these areas. Lotions also have the advantage of being economical to use versus ointments or creams because they are easier to spread all over the body, thus covering a larger skin area with less amounts compared to ointments or creams.

Hydrocortisone in Eurax

Eurax, as topical medication in lotion form, contains hydrocortisone. Hydrocortisone, a mild corticosteroid, is the synthetic form of cortisol that can be used for either oral administration, topical preparations, or intravenous injections. It functions as an immunosuppressive drug in treating allergic reactions that are severe like angioedema and anaphylaxis, in the place of prednisolone as needed by patients undergoing steroid treatments but cannot use oral medication. It can also be use pre-operatively on patients under long-term steroid treatments to prevent an addisonian crisis or the group of symptoms indicating severe adrenal deficiencies. The topical forms, as what Eurax utilizes, take best advantage of its anti-inflammatory effect when used on allergic rashes, psoriasis, eczema, and other inflammatory conditions of the skin.

Side effects

Eurax lists skin irritations as its only known side effect. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience skin irritations during treatment, aggravating your prior condition.
