Frequently asked questions about Bifonazole
Q. How to use Bifo Cream?
Before using Bifo 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. Use Bifo Cream once daily, preferably at night before going to bed, for two to three weeks or as advised by your doctor. If Bifo Cream gets in your eyes accidentally, wash with plenty of water and call your doctor if your eyes are irritated.
Q. For how long do I need to use Bifo Cream?
Symptoms generally get reduced or get completely cured within 2 to 4 weeks. Use Bifo Cream until the symptoms get cured and then for two more weeks after symptoms disappear to avoid recurrence of the infection.
Q. What measures should be taken for a fast recovery?
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. The itchiness may give you an urge to scratch but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of the skin, spreading the infection further. Always wash your hands after treating the infection to prevent it from spreading. Wash your socks, stockings, and tights thoroughly in hot water to remove any shed skin or fungal spores. Change your footwear daily, if possible.
Q. When should Bifo Cream not be used?
You should not use Bifo Cream if you are allergic to Bifo Cream or any of its ingredients. You should also avoid using Bifo Cream for nappy rash, for nail or scalp infections, or for vaginal infections.
Q. Is there anything which needs to be taken care of while using Bifo Cream cream?
Bifo Cream may reduce the effectiveness and safety of latex products (such as condoms and diaphragms) if it comes into contact with them.

If Bifo Cream cream accidentally comes into contact with a condom or diaphragm, replace the condom or diaphragm before using it as contraception.
