Dosage & Administration

Eudrate cream is applied topically. Wash affected areas well, rinse off all traces of soap, dry, and apply sparingly twice daily.

Drug Interaction

Eudrate may increase the penetration through the skin barrier of other topically applied medicaments.

Over Dose

Topical applications of excessive amounts of Eudrate might cause skin irritation. Ingestion of a large amount of Eudrate would be expected to result in gastrointestinal irritation (nausea and vomiting). Symptomatic and supportive care should be given.
