📖 Pramoxine: Patient Information Guide
A plain-language walkthrough of Pramoxine — what it treats, how it works, how it’s taken, side effects, warnings and interactions. Tap any section to expand it.
🎯What it's used for▾
Pramoxine is a topical anesthetic (numbing medicine applied to the skin) found in many over-the-counter products for temporary relief of pain and itching. Here is the full range of supported uses across these products:
- Minor skin irritations (supported by most products)
- Insect bites (CVS Anti-Itch, First Degree Maximum Strength Burn, Licefreee AfterLice, Anti Itch Soothing 1 Pramoxine Hydrochloride, and others)
- Minor burns and sunburn (CVS Anti-Itch, First Degree Maximum Strength Burn, and other lotion/cream products)
- Minor cuts and scrapes (CVS Anti-Itch, First Degree Maximum Strength Burn, and related products)
- Rashes from poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac — including drying oozing and weeping (CVS Anti-Itch and related lotion products; Ivarest Poison Ivy Removal and Itch Relief)
- Fever blisters and cold sores — Curasore topical liquid only
- Minor external vaginal irritation — Terramed Just Think Comfort GynoCare BV Guard Intimate Wash only
- External genital itching and irritation — Terramed Just Think Comfort HerpCare Intimate Wash only
- External rectal/anal area pain and itching — Proctofoam foam only
- Post-shaving or grooming sensitivity and dry skin itch (Numbing cream products)
💊How it's taken▾
Pramoxine is applied directly to the skin or affected external area — never taken by mouth or used inside the vagina. Frequency varies by product:
- Most topical creams, sprays, and solutions: up to 3 to 4 times daily
- Anorectal products (such as Proctofoam) and some lotion formulations: up to 5 times daily for adults
- Genital wash products (Terramed GynoCare BV Guard Intimate Wash, HerpCare Intimate Wash): once or twice daily
When practical, gently clean and dry the affected area before applying. Follow the specific directions on your product label and your prescriber's guidance, as instructions differ between products and age groups.
🤒Side effects — in detail▾
The FDA product labels for pramoxine do not list common side effects specifically. However, the warnings indicate that skin irritation can sometimes worsen after use.
- Worsening irritation or redness at the application site — stop use if this happens
- Allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling) — stop use and seek medical attention
If any unusual reaction develops after applying pramoxine, stop using the product and contact a doctor right away.
⚠️Warnings & precautions▾
- External use only: Never use pramoxine inside the vagina or allow it to get in your eyes. If eye contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Do not apply to open wounds or broken skin unless directed by a doctor.
- Stop use and see a doctor if symptoms worsen, last more than 7 days, or clear up and quickly return.
- Genital area products: Stop use if you develop unusual vaginal discharge, fever, foul odor, or pelvic pain — these may signal a condition that needs medical treatment.
- Allergic reactions: If a new rash or reaction develops after use, stop immediately and contact a doctor.
- Children: Most products should not be used in children under 2 without a doctor's guidance; some products require a doctor for children under 12.
- If swallowed: Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 right away or get emergency help.
🔀What it interacts with▾

📈 How widely Pramoxine is used
A general measure of how commonly Pramoxine is prescribed, based on Medicaid — one of the largest public drug programs. The figure below is prescriptions filled in Q1–Q4 2025, summed across every form and brand of the drug.
Think of this as a proxy for how widely Pramoxine is used, drawn from freely available public data. Medicaid is just one program — these numbers don’t include Medicare, other government coverage, or commercial and cash-pay prescriptions, so real-world use is higher than what’s shown here.
How commonly is Pramoxine prescribed? Of the 1,596 medications we measure, Pramoxine ranks #1,518 by Medicaid prescriptions — more than 5% of them.
Utilization by Pramoxine product
Pick a product to see its own Medicaid numbers. Each chip is one clinical product — a specific strength & dosage form as defined by RxNorm — with brand-name and generic versions combined.
pramoxine hydrochloride 10 MG/ML Rectal Foam Most dispensed
Summed across the 1 of 2 listed NDC products with Medicaid activity — every brand and generic of this exact strength & form. RxNorm 828365
pramoxine hydrochloride 10 MG/ML Topical Lotion
Summed across the 1 of 21 listed NDC products with Medicaid activity — every brand and generic of this exact strength & form. RxNorm 1246075
Shares are of the Medicaid prescriptions shown here. Product grouping follows RxNorm (the National Library of Medicine’s drug terminology), so “one product” means one strength & dosage form regardless of manufacturer. Dollar figures are gross Medicaid reimbursement before mandatory rebates — rebates (often large, especially for brand-name drugs) are confidential, so actual net cost to Medicaid is lower than shown.
Source: Medicaid State Drug Utilization Data (CMS), aggregated by generic ingredient — summed across every NDC (all brands, strengths, salt forms and dosage forms) of Pramoxine, and across all states and both fee-for-service and managed-care claims. A general popularity signal; it excludes Medicare, commercial insurance and cash prescriptions, so it is not total U.S. use. Based on the 2 of 23 listed Pramoxine NDCs with Medicaid activity.

A representative set of FDA-listed product records for Pramoxine — across manufacturers, strengths, and dosage forms, grouped by form with each product’s manufacturer and how the FDA approved it. The same medicine may be made and packaged by different companies, so a single drug can have many directory entries. (It’s also why a refill can look different — a new shape, color, or box — even though it contains the same medication.)

📈 What people report — real-world data (FDA FAERS)
After a medicine reaches the market, patients, doctors and drugmakers can send the FDA reports of problems they think may be linked to it. Here’s what’s been reported for Pramoxine — a signal of what to watch for, not proof the drug caused it.
Source: openFDA, from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). These are voluntary reports — they don’t prove the drug caused the effect, and counts reflect how often something was reported, not how often it actually happens. Reports also often name the very problem the medicine is taken for — a common reason to file one is that the drug didn’t help — so for a pain reliever you may see “pain” high on the list; that points to why the report was filed, not to the drug causing the symptom. This counts every report that lists Pramoxine in any role, so the total runs higher than the FDA’s official dashboard, which counts only cases where the drug is the suspect. For the authoritative figures, see the FDA FAERS Public Dashboard. Always talk to your pharmacist or doctor.

🚨 Recall history
A recall is when a specific batch of a medicine is pulled from the market — usually a manufacturing issue, not a problem with the drug itself. Class I is most serious, Class III least.

🔬 Where this comes from
Core label, product, RxNorm, safety, and utilization data on this page come from the sources identified below. AI-written, editorial, and licensed sections are labeled separately.
How we combine label and product data
HelloPharmacist combines public FDA and NLM records; we don’t author the underlying clinical facts. We identified 31 FDA-filed SPL label sets within the page’s selected clinical scope after exact ingredient or ingredient-combination matching and applicable route/form matching. The representative label is the starting point for the displayed reference monograph; the 12 largest stored in-scope SPL records, which may include that representative, are compared section by section, and the longest available version of each section is retained. Forms, routes, brands, labelers, product-listed strengths, and product-record counts are aggregated separately from ingredient-matched FDA NDC Directory records; package records listed above are associated with the linked SPL; and the normalized concept hierarchy comes from NLM RxNorm.
For canonical ingredient pages, bounded product-attributed indication and administration excerpts may be added to the AI evidence, and the generator is instructed to preserve available product, brand, route, and form qualifiers instead of treating one label as universal. Where a section is identified as AI-written, its plain-language text is generated from bounded label evidence. New draft drug pages remain in the admin review queue before first publication. Combe Incorporated is the representative DailyMed label linked for verification and dates; it is not the sole source used for the page.
This is general education, not medical advice — always consult your doctor or pharmacist about your medications and any medical condition. For the exact wording of the linked representative label, view that label on DailyMed; some displayed composite sections may come from other in-scope SPL labels.
