Calahist with Pramoxine Top Uses
Pramoxine is used to treat itching and pain caused by lip
or skin irritations such as minor burns/cuts/scrapes, sunburn, insect bites, or
rashes from poison ivy, poison oak, or poison sumac. Some products containing
pramoxine are also used for relief of pain, soreness, burning, itching, or
discomfort from hemorrhoids or other disorders in the anal area (e.g.,
inflammation, irritation, fissures).
Pramoxine belongs to a class of drugs known as local
anesthetics. It works on nerves in the skin to block or reduce the feeling of
pain and itching.

recommended in children younger than 2 years unless directed by the
doctor.
Use of pramoxine for hemorrhoids or other anal disorders
is not recommended in children younger than 12 years unless directed by the
