What is Nizral 30 gm Cream?
How It Works (Mechanism of Action)
How to Use It
| Point | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Once or twice daily, as directed |
| Area to cover | The affected area and the immediate surrounding skin |
| Extent | Apply about 1 inch beyond the visible edge of the infection |
| Duration | Depends on the infection – see the table above |
| Continuing after clearance | A few days after symptoms have gone |
| Age | Adults only |
| Route | External use only |
| No improvement after 4 weeks | Tell your doctor |
| Missed application | Apply it as soon as you remember, then continue as normal |
| Stopping | Do not stop without consulting your doctor |
Why to treat beyond the visible edge: fungal infection extends further than the visible rash. Applying about an inch past the edge treats areas that are infected but not yet visible, which reduces the chance of recurrence.
