How Zinsto Products work
Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole is a combination of two medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole1 and Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole2, which treats skin infections. Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole1 is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Fluocinolone acetonide + Miconazole2 is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Q. Can I use a steroid cream along with Zinsto Cream?
It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Zinsto Cream in the evening. You can then stop using the steroid cream gradually over 2-3 weeks. But, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain at least a gap of 2 weeks before you apply Zinsto Cream to prevent skin sensitization.

You should use Zinsto Cream for as long as advised by your doctor. Generally, it is to be used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash and 2-6 weeks for Athlete’s foot. Do not stop using it even if your symptoms have disappeared because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.
