Banophen Cream is used to temporarily relieve pain and itching associated with minor skin irritations, including insect bites, minor burns, sunburn, poison ivy/oak/sumac, and other allergic skin reactions.
As a topical analgesic, Banophen Cream works locally at the site of application to temporarily relieve pain and itching sensations. The exact mechanism involves numbing skin nerve endings to reduce discomfort signals.
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not apply to large areas of skin or broken/infected skin. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms worsen, no improvement occurs within 7 days, or signs of skin infection develop. Keep out of reach of children.
