Medicine Description eurax
eurax cream 100 gm is a medication that contains crotamiton, which acts as both an antipruritic and a scabicide. Crotamiton works by disrupting the nerve signals that trigger itching and irritation, thereby providing relief from itching associated with scabies and other skin conditions. Additionally, it has a direct effect on the parasites responsible for scabies, leading to their death and subsequent alleviation of the symptoms. The cream is typically applied to the affected areas, where it penetrates the skin barrier to exert its effects, making it effective for localized treatment.
