PLEASE NOTE: THIS MEDICATION REQUIRES A PRESCRIPTION.
The browntail moth rash is an incredibly itchy rash similar to poison ivy. It has been affecting countless Mainers. In some people, the rash occurs when the toxic hairs of the browntail moth caterpillar embed in the skin. It can last for several days or even weeks. Treatment for the rash includes both over-the-counter and prescription medication.
Fortunately, we compound a prescription-strength solution for the rash. It has provided significant relief for hundreds of patients.* This soothing treatment is available as a spray or lotion.
Which form is right for me?
The spray covers a wide area and the lotion is good for the face, localized patches or children. We recommend you store both in the refrigerator for longevity and additional cooling relief.
Is it safe for children?
The lotion is preferred, however, it’s best to consult with your pediatrician. We can also make a customized formulation for your child if necessary. To discuss options, your practitioner can speak with one of our pharmacists at (207) 899-0886.
Is it covered by insurance?
Most insurance companies do not cover compounded prescriptions. We can provide a universal insurance claim form for you to submit on your own. Please ask for the form when we contact you or when you pick up your prescription.
