Overview Steno Cream

Fungal infections of the skin respond to treatment with MycoDerm cream, an antifungal medication. This cream acts by eliminating the fungi responsible for conditions like athlete's foot, tinea cruris, oral thrush, ringworm, and dry, scaling skin. Follow your physician's instructions precisely regarding dosage and treatment duration for optimal results. Consistent application is key; exceeding the recommended dose won't accelerate healing and may worsen side effects. Do not prolong treatment beyond the prescribed period. If no improvement is seen within 2-4 weeks, consult your doctor. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the affected area, along with handwashing before and after application, enhances efficacy. For athlete's foot, ensure thorough sock/stocking washing and daily shoe changes if feasible. Common side effects include local reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. Avoid eye contact; if contact occurs, flush with water and seek immediate medical advice. While unlikely, inform your doctor of any concurrent medications (oral or injectable) or prior use of steroid-containing medications or antifungal allergy before commencing treatment. Disclose pregnancy or breastfeeding to your doctor.
