Eurax Uses
Use Eurax to treat scabies or to reduce itching associated with certain conditions.
How is Eurax Used?
Shake the lotion well before use. Apply a thin layer of the Eurax cream or lotion to all body parts from the neck down to the soles of your feet (scabies does not usually infect the head). Apply the medication to dry skin and rub it in well. Leave the medication on for 24 hours, then, without washing, apply a second dose. Thoroughly wash off the medication 48 hours after the last application.
Eurax Warnings/Precautions
Do not use more Eurax than is recommended. Do not take Eurax by mouth. Avoid application to the mouth, nose, or eyes. Treat sexual and other close contacts who are also infected. To prevent reinfection, wash all clothing, hats, bed clothes, bed linens, hair brushes, and combs with a strong cleanser in hot water to remove any mites or eggs.
Missed Dose
Two doses of Eurax, 24 hours apart, are recommended. If the second dose is missed, retreatment may be necessary. Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you miss a dose.
