Tiocosid Cream (Tioconazole) x20g

Tiocosid Cream is a topical antifungal medication containing Tioconazole as its active ingredient. This cream is formulated to effectively treat various fungal skin infections, providing rapid relief from symptoms while targeting the underlying cause of the infection.

Uses

Tiocosid Cream is primarily used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It’s also effective against certain yeast infections of the skin and nails, including Candida infections.

Benefits

• Effectively treats a wide range of fungal skin infections
• Provides quick relief from itching, burning, and scaling
• Easy to apply topically
• Penetrates deeply into the skin for thorough treatment
• Suitable for use on various parts of the body
• Helps prevent recurrence of fungal infections when used as directed

How It Works

Tioconazole, the active ingredient in Tiocosid Cream, works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This action disrupts the fungal cell structure, leading to increased permeability and eventual cell death, effectively eliminating the infection.

Dosage

Apply a thin layer of Tiocosid Cream to the affected area and surrounding skin once or twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider. Continue use for the prescribed duration, typically 2-4 weeks, even if symptoms improve. Wash hands thoroughly after each application.

Side Effects

Most people tolerate Tiocosid Cream well. However, some may experience mild skin irritation, burning sensation, or redness at the application site. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

Warning

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not use on broken or inflamed skin unless directed by a healthcare professional. Discontinue use and seek medical attention if you experience severe irritation or signs of an allergic reaction.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Consult your healthcare provider before using Tiocosid Cream if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. While topical use is generally considered safe, it’s important to weigh potential risks and benefits under medical supervision.

Interaction

• Minimal risk of drug interactions when used topically as directed
• Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you’re using, including other topical treatments
• Avoid using other medicated skin products on the treated area unless directed by your doctor

Important Information

Maintain good hygiene practices to prevent reinfection or spread of the fungal infection. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve quickly. If symptoms persist or worsen after the recommended treatment period, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation. For nail infections, treatment may need to be continued for several months to allow for new, healthy nail growth.
