Introduction
Onecan-C Dusting Powder is for external use only. You should use it in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need as that may cause increased side effects. If your condition goes on for longer than four weeks or gets worse at any time, let your doctor know. The effects of this medicine can be increased by keeping the affected area clean and dry and washing hands before and after treating the infection. If you have an athlete’s foot, wash your socks or tights thoroughly and change your shoes daily if possible. Some of the common side effects include skin irritation, redness, or itching at the site of application. If the side effects bother you or do not go away, let your doctor know. Some people have a severe allergic reaction that needs urgent medical attention. Signs of this include rash, swelling of the lips, throat, or face, swallowing or breathing problems, dizziness, and nausea. Get emergency help if this happens. It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed during pregnancy.

Quick Tips
Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Keep your feet clean and dry, particularly between the toes. Cut your nails short and prefer open-toe shoes for everyday use. Keep your vagina clean and dry. Use a separate clean towel for the infected area. Take a shower with antifungal soap after gyming or severe sweating. Never share your socks, shoes, and towel with others. Apply a sufficient amount to cover the affected area and 1 inch of the immediate surrounding skin. Avoid getting it in the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Inform your doctor if the infection does not clear up even after four weeks of treatment. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. If used topically on the nipple area, wash breasts before feeding your child. Do not apply Onecan-C Dusting Powder on cuts or burns. Keep away from children.

Frequently asked questions
What is Onecan-C Dusting Powder used for?
Onecan-C Dusting Powder is an antifungal medicine used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, fungal nappy rash, and fungal sweat rash. It is also used to relieve irritation of the vulva and irritation occurring at the end of the penis, which may be associated with thrush.
Onecan-C Dusting Powder is effective against which fungi?
Onecan-C Dusting Powder is effective against Trichophyton species, which cause ringworm infection, athlete's foot, and jock itch, as well as yeast known as Candida, which commonly causes vaginal thrush.
I have started using Onecan-C Dusting Powder. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?
The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, the signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. It is essential to continue applying the medicine as directed by your doctor, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
What precautions are necessary while applying Onecan-C Dusting Powder?
To ensure safe and effective use, always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Onecan-C Dusting Powder. If using the cream for an infected foot, wash and dry your feet thoroughly before applying the cream, especially between the toes. Apply the cream thinly and evenly, rubbing it gently onto the affected areas two or three times daily.
For how long should I apply Onecan-C Dusting Powder? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection. Typically, treatment is continued for 1 month for tinea infection and at least 15 days for candida infection. Do not stop the treatment on your own, even if you feel better, as the infection may come back and it takes time to kill the fungus.
Is Onecan-C Dusting Powder safe to use in children?
Onecan-C Dusting Powder is safe for children when used as directed by a doctor. However, it is essential to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment to avoid any potential side effects. If your child experiences a burning sensation, redness, or severe itching, stop the medicine and consult your doctor.
Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?
To promote a faster recovery, keep the affected skin areas clean and dry, avoiding excessive rubbing. If you experience itchiness, avoid scratching as it can damage the skin and spread the infection further. Also, refrain from sharing towels, bath mats, or other personal items to prevent the spread of the infection to others.
Does Onecan-C Dusting Powder affect contraception?
Onecan-C Dusting Powder may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, such as diaphragms and condoms. If using the cream on the vulva or penis, consider alternative methods of contraception for at least 5 days after using Onecan-C Dusting Powder.
