The most commonly reported side effects were burning or stinging after application (10% of patients) and itching (7%). Redness, numbness, tingling and rash were reported in 1–2% or fewer patients. Headache, fever, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting have also been reported since Elimite became available. Rare seizures have been reported, but none have been medically confirmed as linked to Elimite treatment. Seek urgent medical help if a seizure occurs.

When to call your doctor

If symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly, seek emergency care rather than waiting.
