Doxepin cream, also known as Zonalon, is a prescription medication used to alleviate itching in adults caused by skin conditions such as eczema and lichen simplex chronicus—a condition characterized by thick, dry, and scaly skin resulting from frequent scratching or rubbing. It is applied to the affected areas up to four times daily for no more than eight days. Doxepin is classified as a tricyclic antidepressant, and while its exact mechanism for reducing itching isn't fully understood, it is believed to block histamine, a natural substance in the body that triggers itching during allergic reactions. Some absorption into the body occurs when the cream is applied, which may lead to drowsiness or reduce the awareness of itching. Common side effects include burning or stinging sensations on the skin. Available as both a brand-name and generic medication, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before using this or any other medication.
