✔️ Indication of Cronix 10% Lotion

Cronix is an antipruritic and scabicidal medicine used to treat scabies, a condition caused by tiny insects infesting and irritating the skin. It works by eliminating the mites and their eggs, relieving itching and skin irritation.

✔️ Pharmacology

Crotamiton is a parasitic antiparasitic that kills scabies mites. Crotamiton also produces a counter-irritation, which soothes itching. Crotamiton has a cooling effect when it evaporates off the skin. This cooling impact enables your body's attention to be diverted away from the itching.
