Sudocrem 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, acne, minor burns, surface wounds, sunburn and chilblains.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sudocrem.co.uk/antiseptic-healing-cream/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/medicine/7632 )〕 It was manufactured by pharmaceutical company Forest Laboratories Europe up until July 2014 when the company was acquired by, and combined with, Actavis plc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.frxeurope.eu/About.aspx )〕 ==History== Sudocrem was developed in 1931 by Dublin-based pharmacist Thomas Smith. It was originally called "Smith's Cream" with the name changing to Sudocrem in the 1950s. During the 1960s, samples of Sudocrem given to new mothers in Ireland increased the popularity of the product and the brand was gradually introduced to the UK in the 1970s. According to the Sudocrem official website it has since become the leading nappy rash cream in both Ireland and the UK.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sudocrem.co.uk/history )〕 As of 2015, Sudocrem is still manufactured in Dublin (in the Baldoyle area of the city) and is often seen as a quintessentially Irish product. A 2012 Irish Independent article even stated: "Sudocrem is the spuds and bacon of skincare creams, the Guinness of gentle nappy rash reliefs and the Tayto of topical ointments,"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.independent.ie/style/beauty/sudocrem-the-cream-of-the-crop-26844073.html )〕 following reports in the British and Irish media that celebrities were using the product to treat acne. Guinness stout and Tayto crisps are known as iconic Irish products, and the potato is a well known staple of the Irish diet. There are now three Sudocrem branded products available in the UK: the original antiseptic healing cream,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sudocrem.co.uk/antiseptic-healing-cream/ )〕 ''Sudocrem Care and Protect'' which is a nappy rash preventative 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sudocrem.co.uk/care-and-protect )〕 and ''Sudocrem Skin Care Cream'' which is an everyday acne cream aimed at the youth market.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sudocrem.co.uk/skin-care-cream/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sudocrem」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
