How to use Flucort-C Cream
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
How Flucort-C Cream works
Flucort-C Cream is a combination of two medicines: Ciclopirox and Fluocinolone acetonide which treat skin infections. Ciclopirox works by stopping the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.
Quick tips
- Flucort-C Cream may take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor.
- Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Flucort-C Cream.
- Apply it as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by an infection.
- It may cause minor burning, stinging or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
- Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.
- It is advisable not to touch or scratch the infected area as it can worsen the situation.
