Uses

Treatment of Fungal skin infections

Benefits

In Eczema: Zole F calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
In Dermatitis: Zole F settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
In Psoriasis: Zole F reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
In Skin inflammation and itching: Zole F relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
In Fungal skin infection: Zole F kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
In Ringworm: Zole F clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
In Athlete's foot: Zole F clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
In Dandruff: Zole F controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
In Nail fungal infection: Zole F, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.

How to use

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 gently massage the ointment.

How it works

Zole-F Ointment is a combination of two medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide and Miconazole, which treats skin infections. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Safety advice

AlcoholSAFE: No significant interaction with alcohol is expected.
PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingSAFE: Not expected to affect your ability to drive.
KidneySAFE: No dose change is usually needed in kidney disease.

Warnings & precautions

Use it only on the area and for the number of days your doctor specified. Potent steroid creams thin the skin permanently when used for too long. Never use a potent steroid cream on the face, the groin or the underarms unless your doctor has specifically told you to — the skin there is thin and absorbs much more. Do not use it on an infection. A steroid on ringworm, impetigo or herpes makes the infection worse while hiding it. Do not use leftover cream on a new rash, and never pass it to someone else. Stop and see your doctor if the area becomes more painful, weepy or crusted. 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.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Zole-F Ointment, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. It is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Few healthy tips for Athlete's Foot: Keep your feet clean and dry, particularly between the toes.
