Sudocrem (/ˈsudəkrɛm/ or /ˈsudəkrim/ in Ireland)[3] is an over-the-counter medicated cream aimed primarily at the treatment of nappy rash. It contains a water-repellent base (consisting of oils/waxes); protective and emollient agents; antibacterial and antifungal agents; and a weak anesthetic. As well as nappy rash, it can also be used to treat eczema, bedsores, minor burns, surface wounds, sunburn and chilblains.[4][5] It was manufactured by pharmaceutical company Forest Laboratories Europe up until July 2014 when the company was acquired by, and combined with, Actavis plc.[6] On March 17, 2015, Actavis completed the acquisition of Allergan, creating a $23 billion diversified global pharmaceutical company.[7]
In Belgium, the product is sold under the brand "Dermocrem".[8] The Netherlands was the first country Sudocrem was sold in outside Ireland and the UK.[9]
