How should I use pramoxine topical?
Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor.
Do not take by mouth. Topical medicine is for use only on the skin.
Wash your hands before and after applying pramoxine topical. Wash the affected skin area with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse and dry the area thoroughly.
To use pramoxine on the skin, (spray, lotion, gel, or stick), apply just enough of the medication to cover the area to be treated.
Do not use pramoxine topical on deep skin wounds, blistered skin, severe burns, or large skin areas. Seek medical attention for more severe skin irritation or injury.
Pramoxine hemorrhoid cream, lotion, foam, or medicated wipe may be used on the rectum after each bowel movement to treat hemorrhoid pain and itching.
Shake the pramoxine rectal foam before each use. Squirt only a small amount of the medicine onto a clean tissue and apply it to your rectum.
To use the pramoxine medicated wipe to treat the rectal or vaginal area, gently pat or wipe onto the area. Avoid harsh rubbing. Each pramoxine medicated wipe is for one use only. Throw the wipe away after using.
Do not insert this medicine or the medicated wipe into your rectum or vagina. Use pramoxine topical only on the outside of the area.
Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 7 days, or if your condition clears up and then comes back.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Store pramoxine foam in an upright position. Do not refrigerate.
