Indications

Eczema Urticaria Scabies

Cronix lotion relieves itching and skin irritation from causes such as sunburn, dry eczema, itchy dermatitis, allergic rashes, hives, nettle rash, chickenpox, insect bites and stings, heat rashes, and general itching of the skin. It is also used to relieve itching that continues after scabies has been treated.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Crotamiton kills the mite that causes scabies. It also eases itching in a second way, by producing a mild counter-irritation on the skin: as it evaporates, it creates a cooling sensation, and this cooling sensation helps draw your attention away from the itch.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

There is not enough experience to judge the safety of Cronix lotion during pregnancy, so it is not recommended, especially in the first three months. Whether the active substance passes into breast milk is unknown. Nursing mothers should avoid applying Cronix lotion to the area of the nipples.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Pruritus: Adults (including the elderly) and children: Apply to the affected area 2-3 times daily. Crotamiton lotion will provide relief from irritation for 6-10 hours after each application. Crotamiton lotion can be used in children. There are no special dosage recommendations in the elderly. Pruritus after scabies: Adults (including the elderly): After the patient has taken a warm bath, the skin should be well dried and Crotamiton lotion rubbed into the entire body surface (excluding the face and scalp) until no traces of the preparation remain visible on the surface. The application should be repeated once daily, preferably in the evening, for a total of 3-5 days. Depending on the response, special attention should be paid to sites that are particularly susceptibly to infestation by the mites (eg interdigital spaces, wrists, axillae and genitalia). Areas where there is pus formation should be covered with a dressing impregnated with Crotamiton lotion. While the treatment is in progress the patient may take a bath shortly before the next application. After completion of the treatment, a cleansing bath should be taken followed by a change of bed linen and underclothing. Children: Application as described for adults but in children under 3 years of age Crotamiton lotion should not be applied more than once a day
