FAQs

How to use Ebertif Cream?

Before using Ebertif Cream, clean and dry the affected area. Gently and thoroughly massage it into the skin. Be careful not to get the medication in your eyes or mouth. If Ebertif Cream gets in your eyes accidentally, wash with plenty of water and call your doctor if your eyes are irritated.

My itching is gone, so can I stop using Ebertif Cream?

You must complete the course of treatment even if the irritation is gone. Ebertif Cream is an antifungal medication and treats fungal infections of the skin. In fungal infection of the skin, the fungus stays in the layers of the skin. So, even though the medication may clear the symptoms in a few days, the infection can be present in deeper layers of the skin. You may need to keep applying this medicine for 4-6 weeks.

Will just applying Ebertif Cream relieve my infection?

Ebertif Cream is prescribed when the fungal infection is superficial. It is not always true, but sometimes superficial fungal infections need oral antifungal therapy too. So the doctor decides whether the patient needs just Ebertif Cream or a combination of Ebertif Cream and oral medicine depending on the severity and site of the fungal infection.

Are there any precautions that need to be kept in mind?

Fungal infections occur due to improper hygiene, weak immunity or even stress. They may occur as a side effect of other medications as well. Maintaining proper hygiene can prevent fungal infections. Bathe every day, trim your nails regularly, do not use anyone else’s towel, dry the infected area properly, and use clean undergarments that are made of cotton. Avoid wearing tight clothing. Complete the course of the treatment given by the doctor, avoid creams that contain steroids.
