Eurax is a well-established medicated cream containing the active ingredient Crotamiton, designed to provide long-lasting relief from itching and skin irritation. It is widely used for conditions such as allergic rashes, eczema, dermatitis, and insect bites. The brand is recognized for its "up to 10 hours" of relief, making it a staple in household medicine cabinets globally.

The brand was originally developed by Geigy (which later became Ciba-Geigy and then Novartis) in Switzerland. Over the decades, rights to the brand have been managed and sold to various specialized pharmaceutical firms depending on the region. In many markets, particularly the UK and Europe, the brand has been part of the Thornton & Ross portfolio, which itself is a subsidiary of the German pharmaceutical giant STADA Arzneimittel AG. Manufacturing often takes place in specialized pharmaceutical facilities across Europe to meet strict medical regulatory standards.
