Frequently asked questions
For how long should I apply Oxinext Cream? Can I stop if my symptoms have fully disappeared?
The length of treatment depends on the type of infection. For tinea infections, treatment is usually for one month. Candida infections typically require at least 15 days of treatment, and it's important to complete the full course even after your symptoms disappear. Stopping prematurely could lead to the infection returning. Always consult with your healthcare provider.
What precautions should be taken when applying Oxinext Cream?
Always thoroughly wash your hands before and after applying Oxinext Cream. If using it for foot infections, thoroughly wash and dry feet, especially between the toes, before application. Ensure a thin and uniform layer is applied to affected areas daily. Apply gently with gentle rubbing motions.
Is Oxinext Cream safe for children?
Oxinext Cream is considered safe for use in children when administered at the recommended dose for the prescribed time period. While minor side effects may occur, they are generally not bothersome. However, if you experience burning sensations or areas of significant redness, itching, discontinue usage and consult your healthcare provider.
What measures should I take for faster recovery?
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry and avoid excessive rubbing. Itchiness may tempt you to scratch but this can damage the skin surface, worsening the infection. Avoid sharing towels, bath mats, etc., with other people as this could spread the infection.
Does Oxinext Cream have any side effects?
Yes, Oxinext Cream may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. You might experience mild and transient rash or burning sensations that usually subside quickly.
How should I store Oxinext Cream?
Keep the medication in its original container, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature (20°C to 25°C) away from light, excessive heat, and moisture (not in a bathroom).
Can I stop using Oxinext Cream when my symptoms improve?
No, do not discontinue Oxinext Cream without consulting your healthcare provider even if your symptoms seem to be improving. Your body may need further treatment for complete cure. It's crucial to follow the prescribed duration of treatment as directed by your doctor.
