About Esava Cream
Esava Cream is used to treat fungal infections of the skin like ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on the face, scalp, chest, upper back or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection.
Esava Cream contains Ketoconazole, which works by damaging the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival. Thus, it kills fungi and yeast.
Common side effects include dry skin, itching, redness or a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Esava Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to ketoconazole, inform your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Esava Cream. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Esava Cream may catch fire and burn easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before using Esava Cream to adjust the dose.
