I've been prescribed Prudoxin 5% Cream for my eczema, and I'm a bit nervous about trying it. I've heard it can cause drowsiness, and I'm not sure how that will affect my daily life. Has anyone else used this cream? What were your experiences with the side effects? I'm particularly worried about the serious side effects mentioned, like confusion or severe skin irritation. Did anyone have any issues with it? Was it actually effective for you, or are there other medications that worked better?

I had a terrible reaction to it. Within a few hours of applying it, I started breaking out in hives and had trouble breathing. I had to go to the ER. I'm glad I didn't use it for too long, and I'm going to get a different lotion for myself.

I've been using Prudoxin 5% for a few months now and it's been a lifesaver. I had to deal with eczema my entire life, and this thing does wonders. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully and don't use it for too long. I've had a bit of dry mouth, but it's nothing compared to the relief it provides from the itching. Stick with it, and don't be afraid to ask your doctor if you have any concerns.

Oh no, I feel a rash coming on... Just kidding, but seriously, be careful with this stuff. I felt like a zombie after using it, but at least the itching stopped. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after using it, guys.

I think it's important to note that everyone's experience with medication can be different. What works for one person might not work for another. I would recommend giving it a try but being cautious. If you experience any serious side effects, stop using it immediately and contact your doctor. Safety first!

I am also nervous about the drowsiness. I'm a student and can't afford to be sleepy during class. I've been dealing with eczema for years and was hoping this would be the solution. But I am afraid to get this because of the side effects. Has anyone else been in the situation where you could not take it for long periods? I might get a different medicine.

I used it for a few weeks and it did help with the itching. I didn't experience any serious side effects, but I did feel a bit drowsy after applying it. I found that using it before bed helped to minimize the drowsiness during the day.

I've heard that using a moisturizer alongside Prudoxin can help reduce the burning or stinging sensation. Might be worth a shot if you decide to try it out!

I've been using hydrocortisone for my eczema and it works fine for me. Have any of you used Prudoxin for other skin conditions? How did it work for you? I'm considering asking my doctor about it because my skin problems are getting worse and worse.

I had a friend who used Prudoxin and she said it worked wonders for her. She had some drowsiness but she said it was worth it. It was nice to see her finally get some relief from the eczema. I would recommend it to anyone.
