Eurax: the anti-itch expert

We’ve all had itches that simply drive us mad. Whether it’s trying to scratch away the tingling of sunburn, the pain of a nasty sting or even discomfort of hives, nothing can be more irritating than an itch that will not go away.

Click for further details about Eurax.

But it’s not just summer itches that cause discomfort. Winter has its fair share of itch inducing problems. Centrally heated, badly ventilated houses can cause you to start itching, as can scratchy woollen jumpers.

The simply and easy way to stop that itch dead in its tracks is to apply Eurax. It contains an active ingredient called crotamiton that can relieve itching for up to ten hours. And better than that, it starts working quickly to relieve that annoying itching sensation.

Eurax is an ideal choice for all the family’s itches and can be used on children above three years of age. A non-greasy, non-staining cream or lotion, it will help relieve the itch and skin irritation associated with sunburn, hives, insect bites and stings, heat rash, dry eczema, dermatitis, personal itching and chickenpox.

Now there’s no need to clog up your medicine cabinet with different lotions and potions. Because Eurax tackles nine different itching dilemmas it makes a great medicine cabinet staple.

Eurax is available in a 30g tube priced at £3.55, a 100g tube priced at £6.19 and a 100ml lotion priced at £4.69. Contains crotamiton. Always read the label.
