Frequently asked questions
How to use Ebacol 1% Cream?

My itching has gone away, so can I stop using Ebacol 1% Cream?
You must complete the prescribed course of treatment even after the symptoms have subsided. Ebacol 1% Cream is an antifungal medication and treats fungal skin infections. In such cases, the fungus remains within the layers of your skin, so while it may clear up symptoms quickly, the infection can still be present deeper in the skin. Depending on severity and location, you might need to continue using this medication for 4-6 weeks.
Will just applying Ebacol 1% Cream relieve my infection?
Ebacol 1% Cream is prescribed for superficial fungal infections that are on the surface of the skin. It's not always suitable, as sometimes deep-seated fungal infections may require oral antifungal therapy in addition to topical treatment. The doctor determines the appropriate combination of treatment based on the severity and location of the infection.
Are there any precautions I need to keep in mind?
Fungal infections are often caused by poor hygiene, weakened immunity, or stress. They can also be a side effect of other medications. To prevent fungal infections, maintain good hygiene practices: bathe daily, trim nails regularly, avoid sharing towels, dry the affected area thoroughly, and use clean cotton undergarments. Also, try to wear loose clothing.
