Sulconazole

Sulconazole is used to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot (cream only), jock itch, and ringworm. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Sulconazole comes as a cream and solution to apply to the skin. It is usually used once or twice a day, in the morning and evening, for 2 to 4 weeks. Some infections require up to 6 weeks of treatment. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use sulconazole exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Thoroughly clean the infected area, allow it to dry, and then gently rub the medication in until most of it disappears. Use just enough medication to cover the affected area. You should wash your hands after applying the medication.

Continue to use sulconazole even if you feel well. Do not stop using sulconazole without talking to your doctor.

Keep this medication in the container it came in, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Store it at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.
