To order Eurax online, answer a few questions and get it delivered the next working day.
Eurax is an anti-itch scabicidal drug containing crotamiton. Meaning it helps relieve itching and kills scabies mites. When applied, itching is reduced within 15-30 minutes and the effects can last up to ten hours.
Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by mites. When infected, the mites burrow into your skin and lay eggs. This results in intense itching and a bad rash. Although it's not a serious condition, treatment with a scabicidal drug is necessary. Without it, the mites will continue to live in your skin. It’s also important to treat it quickly to stop it from spreading to other people.
There are two versions of Eurax available: Eurax 10% cream and Eurax Hc cream. Eurax 10% cream contains only one active ingredient, crotamiton, an anti-itch and scabicidal drug. Eurax Hc cream contains crotamiton and hydrocortisone, a steroidal drug that reduces inflammation. This makes it better for treating people who have swelling caused by scabies.
As an anti-itch treatment, crotamiton alleviates itching by creating a cooling effect when it evaporates from your skin. As an scabicidal, the exact way it works isn’t understood, but the drug is toxic to the mites.
