Side effects of Imiquad Cream Sachet 3x0.25 gm
  • Apply a cold compress to the affected area for 10 to 20 minutes at a time.
  • You can take pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
  • In case of injections, switch the injection site with each dose to reduce irritation at a single location.

Here are the few steps for dealing with itching caused by drug use:
  • Report the itching to your doctor immediately; they may need to change your medication or dosage.
  • Use a cool, damp cloth on the itchy area to help soothe and calm the skin, reducing itching and inflammation.
  • Keep your skin hydrated and healthy with gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers.

  • If your doctor prescribes, you can take oral medications or apply topical creams or ointments to help relieve itching.
  • Track your itching symptoms and follow your doctor's guidance to adjust your treatment plan if needed. If the itching persists, consult your doctor for further advice.
  • Burning sensation is an abnormal side effect that needs medical attention. To relieve the burning feeling, your doctor may prescribe painkillers or antidepressants.
  • Focused exercises can improve strength and reduce burning by soothing muscles.
  • Change in lifestyle and improving nutrition can reduce the causes of burning sensation and provide relief.
  • Your doctor may suggest nerve block injections as it is related to sensation in the skin.
  • Burning feeling in a specific area would need mild electrical currents to reduce pain that targets the nerve affected. This practice must be done only if your doctor mentions it.
