Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
Drowsiness occurs in over 20% of patients treated with PRUDOXINTM Cream, especially in patients receiving treatment to greater than 10% of their body surface area. Patients should be warned about the possibility of sedation and cautioned against driving a motor vehicle or operating hazardous machinery while being treated with PRUDOXINTM Cream.
The sedating effects of alcoholic beverages, antihistamines, and other CNS depressants may be potentiated when PRUDOXINTM Cream is used.
If excessive drowsiness occurs it may be necessary to reduce the frequency of applications, the amount of cream applied, and/or the percentage of body surface area treated, or discontinue the drug. However, the efficacy with reduced frequency of applications has not been established.

A thin film of PRUDOXINTM Cream should be applied four times each day with at least a 3 to 4 hour interval between applications. There are no data to establish the safety and effectiveness of PRUDOXINTM Cream when used for greater than 8 days. Chronic use beyond eight days may result in higher systemic levels and should be avoided. Use of PRUDOXINTM Cream for longer than 8 days may result in an increased likelihood of contact sensitization.
The risk for sedation may increase with greater body surface area application of PRUDOXINTM Cream (See WARNINGS section). Clinical experience has shown that drowsiness is significantly more common in patients applying PRUDOXINTM Cream to over 10% of body surface area; therefore, patients with greater than 10% of body surface area (see WARNINGS section) affected should be particularly cautioned concerning possible drowsiness and other systemic adverse effects of doxepin. If excessive drowsiness occurs, it may be necessary to do one or more of the following: reduce the body surface area treated, reduce the number of applications per day, reduce the amount of cream applied, or discontinue the drug.
Occlusive dressings may increase the absorption of most topical drugs; therefore, occlusive dressings should not be utilized with PRUDOXINTM Cream.
