Carcinogenesis and Mutagenesis and Impairment of Fertility

Long-term carcinogenicity studies in animals have not been conducted.

Pregnancy (Category C)

Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Eurax. It is also not known whether Eurax can cause fetal harm when applied topically to a pregnant woman or can affect reproduction capacity. Eurax should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.

Pediatric Use

Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Geriatric Use

Clinical studies with Eurax (crotamiton, USP) Lotion/Cream did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently than younger subjects.

Primary irritation reactions, such as dermatitis, pruritus, and rash, and allergic sensitivity reactions have been reported in a few patients.

OVERDOSAGE

There is no specific information on the effect of overtreatment with repeated topical applications in humans. A death was reported but cause was not confirmed.

If accidental ingestion occurs, call your Poison Control Center.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

In Scabies: Thoroughly massage into the skin of the whole body from the chin down, paying particular attention to all folds and creases. A second application is advisable 24 hours later. Clothing and bed linen should be changed the next morning. A cleansing bath should be taken 48 hours after the last application.

In Pruritus: Massage gently into affected areas until medication is completely absorbed. Repeat as needed.

LOTION: Shake well before using.

DIRECTIONS FOR PATIENTS WITH SCABIES:

  • Take a routine bath or shower. Thoroughly massage Eurax cream or lotion into the skin from the chin to the toes including folds and creases.
  • Put Eurax cream or lotion under fingernails after trimming the fingernails short, because scabies are very likely to remain there. A toothbrush can be used to apply the Eurax cream or lotion under the fingernails. Immediately after use, the toothbrush should be wrapped in paper and thrown away. Use of the same brush in the mouth could lead to poisoning.
  • A second application is advisable 24 hours later.
  • A 60 gram tube or bottle is sufficient for two applications.
