Drug Uses

Nizoral is used to treat body infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis (yeast infection or thrush), and jock itch.

Usage

Following the dosage instructions of your doctor is the best way to use any medication. If you are unsure or do not remember the instructions then you may read the medicine label for more detailed information.

You may choose to take Nizoral with a meal to avoid an upset stomach.

Do not take it with antiacids.

It is very important that you complete the dosage schedule and do not interrupt it in between without seeking prior consultation from your doctor.

Taking your medication at the same time each day is a tried and tested method to avoid missing any doses.

The dosage should not increase more than once in a day (24 hours).

Storage

Store nizoral at room temperature 15–25°C (read medicine label if unsure). Always keep it in a cool dark place that is not directly exposed to sources of heat or moisture and sunlight. Protect it from kids and pets.

Warning/Precautions

Doctors advise against using nizoral if you are allergic to any ingredient in it or if you have conditions like allergy to any ingredients of nizoral or fungal meningitis.

Discuss your past/current medical history in detail with your doctor before beginning treatment with any new medication. If you are using any herbal supplements or over the counter medication, including vitamin pills, then mention it to your doctor.

If you are expecting a child or are planning to have a child in the near future, then consult your doctor before using nizoral to discuss any possible threats to the unborn baby.

If you are a nursing mother and breast feed your baby, then too, seek consultation before using nizoral as some drugs are excreted in the breast milk and may enter the baby.
