Zanfel® Poison Ivy, Oak & Sumac Wash is a safe and effective topical solution for poison ivy, oak, and sumac. It is the only product clinically shown to remove urushiol, the toxin responsible for the reaction, from the skin ANYTIME after outbreak, enabling the affected area to immediately begin healing. After using Zanfel, itching and pain are the first things to be relieved, usually within 30 seconds. Unlike Zanfel, other products temporarily reduce itching but do nothing to remove urushiol. Zanfel removes urushiol by binding with it to create an aggregated cluster, which can quickly and effectively be washed away with water. Zanfel can be used at any time after exposure. Zanfel can be applied on any external body area, including the face and genitals, and is safe for use by children and pregnant or nursing women. In the case of systemic, or blood-based reactions, prescription steroids are usually required. If you suspect a systemic reaction, see your healthcare provider immediately. Zanfel can be used in conjunction with steroid treatments.
