Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Pramosone Work?
The hydrocortisone component of Pramosone works by suppressing the body’s immune response and reducing the release of inflammatory chemicals, which helps relieve swelling, redness, and itching. The pramoxine component blocks pain signals in the nerves of the skin, providing temporary relief from itching and discomfort.
Common Dosages
- Creams, lotions, and foams: Typically in strengths of 1% hydrocortisone and 1% pramoxine.
Typical Dosing
- Apply a thin layer to the affected area 2 to 4 times daily, depending on the severity of the condition.
- Avoid covering the area with tight bandages unless directed by a healthcare provider.
