Antipruritic medication - or a Eurax lotion review would categorize Eurax - are also known as anti-itch drugs or medication used in inhibiting itching (pruritus in Latin) commonly associated with allergic reactions, sunburns, psoriasis, eczema, fungal infections, chickenpox, insect bites, as well as urticaria and contact dermatitis that can be caused by plants like poison ivy and stinging nettle.

Treatments

According to a Eurax lotion review, cortisol or its synthetic form hydrocortisone, an ingredient found in Eurax, is a commonly known antipruritic. Created by the adrenal cortex, it is a corticosteroid hormone that is often referred to as the "stress hormone". Involved in the body's response to stress, it increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels, as well as an immunosuppressive action. As a Eurax lotion review would state, it is also used in treating inflammation, allergies, and deficiencies in cortisol production. When first developed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, it went by the name Compound E.

Advice on using antipruritics

l Only use topical antipruritics on affected areas.
l Unless advised by your doctor, refrain from using antipruritics under dressings or nappies. While dressings and nappies enable the medication to be absorbed more quickly, it may not be necessary.
l Topical antipruritics, based on a Eurax lotion review, are not intended for facial use unless advised by a doctor. If facial use is needed, limit duration of use to not more than seven days. Prolonged use of topical antipruritics can lead to unintended skin lightening.
l Medication will be absorbed more quickly and in greater amounts in areas of raw skin, the face, the genitals, beneath the breasts and between the buttocks. As such, care must be taken when applying medication on these areas.
l Over-using a topical antipruritic can lead to the medication being absorbed into the body in great amounts that can lead to weakening or thinning of the skin as well as other side effects.
l Certain preparations of topical antipruritics can leave stains on clothes. To prevent this, place a clean cloth or bandage over an affected area if contact with clothing cannot be helped. However, be cautious that the area is not covered tightly unless advised by your doctor as this can increase the rate of absorption and the amount of the antipruritic absorbed into the body.
l Dosage instructions may vary from person to person so follow label instructions closely or as directed by your doctor.
l If you forget to put on a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, then carry on with your following dosage schedule.
