Prurisedán

**Prurisedán** is an Argentine topical antipruritic pharmaceutical brand family marketed by Andrómaco, rather than one chemically uniform drug. The currently identified presentations include an over-the-counter cream containing diphenhydramine hydrochloride plus calamine, an over-the-counter clear lotion containing diphenhydramine hydrochloride plus zinc oxide, and a prescription powder containing boric acid plus zinc oxide. The diphenhydramine-containing products provide local antihistaminic relief of itch, while calamine or zinc oxide provide protective, soothing, and drying effects; the powder formulation is described as antipruritic, antiseptic, and astringent, with boric acid contributing local bacteriostatic activity. The product line is used for symptomatic relief of pruritus and selected superficial inflammatory or irritant skin conditions, including insect bites, contact dermatitis, sunburn, urticaria, miliaria, and moist or blistering pruritic lesions.
