ACTION
Doxepin, a dibenzoxepin-derivative tricyclic compound, is a topical
antipruritic. While the exact
mechanism of antipruritic activity is unknown, Doxepin exhibits potent
histamine H1 and H2
receptor antagonist activity. Although the sedative effect of
systemically absorbed Doxepin may
contribute to the drug's antipruritic activity, the antipruritic
efficacy of Doxepin reportedly does
not appear to depend on a sedative effect.
INDICATIONS
ZONALON Cream 5% (Doxepin HCL Cream) is indicated for the short term
(up to 8 days) topical
relief of histamine mediated pruritus of moderate severity
accompanying conditions such as
eczematous dermatitis.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
ZONALON Cream is contraindicated in individuals who have shown
hypersensitivity to the drug
or to other dibenzoxepin compounds.
ZONALON Cream is not recommended in children under the age of 12
because safety and
efficacy in this age group have not been established.
Because Doxepin HC1 has an anticholinergic affect and because
significant plasma levels of
Doxepin are detectable after topical ZONALON CREAM application, the
use of ZONALON
CREAM is contraindicated in patients with glaucoma or a tendency to
urinary retention.
ZONALON CREAM is contraindicated in individuals who have shown
previous sensitivity to any
of its components.
