Frequently Asked
Questions
How does IvyBlock lotion protect me from poison ivy,
oak, and sumac?
Easily. When applied to your skin prior to contact, the
active ingredient in IvyBlock (Bentoquatam) serves as a
barrier that blocks the allergenic oil (urushiol) in
these poisonous plants from reaching your skin and
starting the development of the rash.
Does IvyBlock lotion require a prescription?
No, IvyBlock is an over-the-counter (OTC) product and
requires no prescription. It is available at drug stores
nationwide and safety departments in select companies
across the country.
How do I use IvyBlock lotion and when should it be
applied?
IvyBlock is applied to the skin before risk of exposure.
It should be applied to clean, dry skin at least 15
minutes before exposure risk. Re-application is
recommended after 4 hours to maintain the maximum level
of protection. Emergency workers who do not wash off
IvyBlock do not need to reapply if it is inconvenient. |
