How It Works

Mycozoral works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane synthesis by inhibiting ergosterol production. This action effectively kills the fungal organisms and prevents their growth. The cream’s base also helps maintain skin moisture while delivering the active ingredient to the affected area.

Duration of Action

Initial relief from symptoms typically occurs within 2-3 days of treatment initiation. Complete treatment duration varies by condition: 2-4 weeks for most skin infections, 2-8 weeks for seborrheic dermatitis. Continue treatment for 7 days after symptoms resolve to prevent recurrence.

Dosage

Apply Mycozoral cream thinly to clean, dry affected area and surrounding skin once or twice daily. Gently massage until absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly after application unless treating hand infections. Duration of treatment depends on the type and severity of infection.

Side Effects

Mycozoral Cream is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some users may experience mild burning, stinging, or irritation at the application site. Rare cases may show local allergic reactions including redness, itching, or skin sensitivity.

Warning

Discontinue use if severe irritation or sensitivity occurs. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Do not cover treated areas with airtight bandages unless directed by healthcare provider. Mycozoral is for external use only.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Mycozoral cream can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding when prescribed by a healthcare provider. Avoid applying near breast area if breastfeeding. Always inform your healthcare provider if pregnant or nursing before starting treatment.
