Cambridge Healthcare Supplies

Description

Cream containing the active ingredient doxepin hydrochloride 5% w/w. When applied topically to the skin, Doxepin can relieve itching/pruritis. Clinically proven to reduce itch after 15 minutes in 75% of patients. Doxepin is thought to work by blocking histamine receptors in the skin, therefore reducing some of the reactions that cause itching associated with eczema. The medicine is also absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream and may cause some drowsiness. This may help to relieve the itch of eczema at bedtime, allowing the patient to sleep more easily.
