Frequently asked questions
How long should I continue using Oxicojen Cream? Can I stop when my symptoms have disappeared?
The duration of treatment with Oxicojen Cream depends on the type of infection. Generally, it's recommended to use the cream for 1 month for tinea infections and at least 15 days for candida infections. Even if you feel better, do not stop using the cream without consulting your doctor, as the infection may come back and take time to fully clear up.
What precautions should I take while applying Oxicojen Cream?
To ensure proper application and prevent the spread of infection, wash your hands thoroughly before and after using Oxicojen Cream. If you're treating a foot infection, make sure to clean and dry your feet, especially between the toes, before applying the cream. Apply a thin, uniform layer to the affected area daily and gently rub it in.
Is Oxicojen Cream safe for children?
Oxicojen Cream is generally safe for use in children when used as directed for the recommended period of time. Minor side effects may occur, but they're usually not bothersome. However, if you or your child experience a burning sensation or areas of severe redness and itching, stop using the cream and consult with your doctor.
What can I do to aid in my recovery?
To promote healing and prevent further complications, keep the affected skin area clean and dry. Avoid excessive rubbing or scratching, as this can damage the skin and spread the infection. Also, refrain from sharing personal items like towels and bath mats with others, as you could inadvertently pass the infection to them.
What potential side effects should I be aware of?
Oxicojen Cream may cause mild and transient side effects, such as a rash or burning sensations. These symptoms usually resolve quickly on their own. If you experience any discomfort or concerns, consult with your doctor for further guidance.
How should I store Oxicojen Cream?
Store the medication in its original container, tightly closed and out of reach of children. Keep it at room temperature (20°C to 25°C) and away from light, excess heat, and moisture. Avoid storing it in a bathroom or other humid environment.
Can I stop using Oxicojen Cream once my symptoms have improved?
No, do not discontinue using Oxicojen Cream without consulting your doctor, even if you're feeling better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is fully cleared up. To ensure complete treatment and prevent a return of the infection, continue using the cream for the recommended duration as directed by your doctor.
