I am taking Itorgo 1% Cream for nail infection but haven’t seen any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop using Itorgo 1% Cream without following your doctor's advice. Stopping the medication before finishing may result in incomplete fungal eradication and increase the likelihood of recurrence. The treatment usually takes several months for complete resolution; it can take up to six to nine months for nail lesions to clear completely.
What precautions should I be aware of while using Itorgo 1% Cream?
It is crucial to practice good hygiene when using Itorgo 1% Cream: Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry; avoid excessive rubbing, which may damage the skin. Do not share towels or personal items with others to prevent potential transmission of infection.

Are there any measures to accelerate recovery?
Maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the affected area is essential. However, avoid excessive rubbing, as it can irritate the skin and spread the infection. If you feel itchy or irritated, try using unscented moisturizers to soothe the affected areas.
Does Itorgo 1% Cream affect contraception?
Itorgo 1% Cream may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives like diaphragms and condoms. If you are using the cream on the vulva or penis, use alternative contraceptive methods for at least five days after treatment to avoid potential complications.

Remember, it is important to continue using Itorgo 1% Cream as prescribed by your doctor even if you feel better early on.
