Nizoral Cream is applied directly to the affected area of skin and is typically used once or twice per day for several weeks until the infection clears up. Nizoral Cream is only for use on the skin and should not be used in the eyes or mouth.
Using Nizoral Cream, clean and thoroughly dry the affected area of skin. Then, apply enough medication to cover the affected skin and some of the surrounding skin. Use the medication only on the skin and do not apply it in the eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina. If the medication gets in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
The dosage and length of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated. Do not apply the medication more often than prescribed, as it will not clear the condition faster, but it may increase side effects. After applying the medication, wash your hands and do not wrap, cover, or bandage the area unless directed to do so by your doctor.
Use Nizoral Cream regularly at the same time(s) each day to get the most benefit from it. Continue to use the medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after starting ketoconazole. Stopping the medication too early may allow the fungus to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.
If your condition lasts after the full prescribed amount of treatment, or if it gets worse at any time, inform your doctor.
