Warnings and precautions
Keep applying for the full period your doctor stated, usually two to four weeks, and for a week or two after the rash has cleared. Stopping when it looks better is why ringworm keeps coming back. Apply a little beyond the visible edge of the patch — the fungus extends further than the redness. Do not use a combination cream containing a steroid on a fungal infection unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it. The steroid calms the redness while the fungus spreads underneath. See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, involves the scalp or nails, or has not improved in two weeks — these usually need tablets as well.
Do not take Monoguard if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. For external use only. Not for use in the eyes.
Interactions with other medicines
No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin.
How to store Monoguard Cream
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
Expert advice for Monoguard Cream
Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying Monoguard Cream. Use just enough to cover the infected skin and a small area around it. Always wash your hands after applying to avoid spreading the infection. Wear clean cotton socks and loose-fitting shoes to help with healing if treating athlete’s foot. Avoid bandages or tight dressings on the treated area unless your doctor advises. Use a separate towel for the affected area and wash clothes, socks, and towels regularly.
