Introduction
INTRODUCTION ABOUT REXIZOLE CREAMREXIZOLE CREAM contains Clotrimazole, which belongs to the group of medicines called Antifungals. It is used in the management of fungal skin infections such as ringworm (fungal infection of the skin or scalp), athlete’s foot (fungal infection between the toes), fungal nappy rash (skin rash affecting the nappy area), and fungal sweat rash. It also relieves irritation of the vulva (external thrush) or at the end of the penis, which may be associated with thrush. Before applying REXIZOLE CREAM, inform your doctor about your previous existing disease conditions. REXIZOLE CREAM is not recommended for use in patients who are allergic to clotrimazole. Avoid smoking or going near flames and wearing fabrics that catch fire easily due to the increased risk of severe burns. REXIZOLE CREAM can be used in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Avoid using latex contraceptives (condoms or diaphragms), as this medicine may reduce the effectiveness of such contraceptives. Use alternative precautions for at least five days after using the medicine. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual effects.
