doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the maximum
benefit from it. Do not use more than you need, it will not clear your
condition faster and may only increase the side effects. Skin infections
will usually get better after 2 to 4 weeks. Do not use the medicine for
longer than your doctor has told you to and let him or her know if your
condition does not improve after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment. If you have
Athlete’s foot, wash your socks or tights thoroughly and change your
shoes daily if possible.
The most common side effects of using
this medicine include application site reactions (burning, irritation,
itching, and redness), dryness, peeling, or blistering of the skin.
Occasionally it can cause thinning of your hair. These are not usually
serious, but you should call your doctor if you think you might have a
severe allergic reaction. Signs of this include rash, swelling of the
lips, throat or face, swallowing, or breathing problems. Get emergency
help if this happens. Avoid direct contact with your eyes. In the case
of direct contact, wash your eyes with water, and seek immediate medical
attention.
It is not likely that other medicines you take by
mouth or injection will affect the way this medicine works, but talk to
your doctor before using it if you have recently used another medicine
that contains a steroid or had an allergic reaction to another
antifungal medicine. For pregnant or breastfeeding women, this cream
should only be used if it is clearly needed.
