Frequently asked questions
What is Nuket Solution used for?
Nuket Solution is a topical antifungal medication intended for the treatment of skin infections that may occur on the feet (athlete's foot), in the groin area (jock itch), or between skin folds (sweat rash infected with a yeast infection ‘thrush’). It can also be used for candida infections of the skin and nails. Nuket Solution provides rapid relief from itching caused by these fungal infections.
Is Nuket Solution a steroid cream?
No, Nuket Solution is not a steroid cream. It belongs to the imidazole class of medicines for treating skin infections, and it works by killing fungi or preventing their growth, rather than using steroids.
What are the side effects of Nuket Solution?
Common side effects include burning, redness, and itching at the application site. Uncommon side effects may also occur like discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions, urticaria or hives, rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.
Can I use a steroid cream along with Nuket Solution?
It is recommended to apply a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and Nuket Solution in the evening. Gradually reduce the use of the steroid cream over 2-3 weeks, but if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, wait at least two weeks before applying Nuket Solution to avoid skin sensitization.
How should Nuket Solution be applied?
Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. After applying Nuket Solution, wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) to prevent infection spread.
For how long do I need to use Nuket Solution?
Nuket Solution should be used for as long as advised by your doctor, generally spanning two to four weeks for jock itch and sweat rash, and two to six weeks for athlete's foot. Do not stop using the medication even if symptoms have vanished, as the infection could reappear if not properly treated.
What should I do if I forget to use Nuket Solution?
If you miss a dose of Nuket Solution, don't worry and continue using it as soon as you remember. If you are unsure or have any further questions, please consult your doctor.
