Common Dosages

  • Topical Cream or Lotion: Typically contains 1% pramoxine hydrochloride.

Typical Dosing

  • For topical application, a small amount of pramoxine is usually applied to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day as needed. It is important to follow the specific instructions on the product label or provided by a healthcare provider.
