Calagel Medicated Anti-itch Gel is an over-the-counter medication that has a two year expiration date from the day it is manufactured. The date can be found marked near the batch code vertically on the side of the bottle label. It will be marked as "EXP month/year", so for example EXP 6/2018 would expire in June 2018. If you purchase Calagel in a box with a 2 oz. Tecnu Original inside, the expiration date will also be stamped on the bottom of the box.
The drug facts label on Calagel states, "Stop use and ask a doctor if condition worsens or if symptoms persist for more than 7 days, or clear up and occur again within a few days."
If you have been using Calagel on your rash for over a week now and are starting to notice increased redness and irritation, we would suggest you discontinue use and contact your doctor.
No, you should not use Calagel if you are allergic to sulfites. Tecnu Rash Relief Spray would be another option for itch relief.
We are not aware of any side effects of Calagel. However, if you are allergic to sulfites, you could experience: a reaction that can vary from mild to life threatening. The most common symptoms are mild and involve a skin rash accompanied by redness, hives, itching, flushing, tingling, and swelling. Respiratory symptoms include difficulty breathing, wheezing, and stridor. Gastrointestinal reactions involve nausea and stomach cramps. Less common but more serious signs include low blood pressure, shock, extreme difficulty breathing, and loss of consciousness. DO NOT USE Calagel IF ALLERGIC TO SULFITES.

I'm 9 months pregnant and have stretch marks that are itchy and red. Nothing was working to take away the itch which was causing a lot of sleepless nights. Then I found a bottle of Calagel that I had squirreled away in my linen closet. I thought, 'what the heck; it's worth a try.' I'm so glad I did! I finally got restful sleep last night!

Chiggers have been particularly bad in my part of Texas this year; I haven't had so many bites since I was a kid! I found your product at my local Dollar General, while searching for SOMETHING to give me some relief, and have been impressed--cool, clear, soothing, and long lasting. Great job!

My dad had given this itch relief to my daughter for her itching from a bug bite. I had forgotten about it and was treating what I thought was a bug bite. After two days of welting and severe itching I saw the bottle of calagel. I thought what can it hurt. I was surprised that after only 8 hours the welts were almost gone and the itching was cut by 90%! I have before and after pictures and they are simply amazing! I will support this product!
