Uses

Nevlon Anti-Itch is commonly prescribed to provide temporary relief from itching and pain associated with minor skin irritations, insect bites, sunburns, and other mild skin conditions. It works by numbing the affected area, providing fast and effective relief.

Mechanism of Action

The active ingredient in Nevlon Anti-Itch, Pramoxine, belongs to a class of medications known as local anesthetics. It works by blocking the nerve signals in the skin, temporarily numbing the area and relieving itching and pain. This numbing effect helps to alleviate discomfort and allows the affected area to heal.

Common side effects may include mild skin irritation or redness at the application site. These side effects are usually temporary and should resolve on their own.

In rare cases, some individuals may experience more serious side effects such as allergic reactions, severe skin irritation, or persistent burning or stinging sensation. If you experience any of these side effects or any other unusual symptoms, discontinue use of the cream and seek medical attention immediately.
