Biazol Cream, 15 gr, Gedeon Richter

What Biazole is and what it is used for

Biazole belongs to a group of drugs called antifungals, which act against skin diseases caused by fungi.

Biazole is indicated in infections caused by different types of fungi, located in different regions of the body:
– fungal infections, especially at the interdigital level (Tinea pedis, Tinea manus);
– fungal infections at the trunk level (Tinea corporis);
– fungal infections of the skin folds (Tinea cruris);
– infections of the skin and genital mucosa with Candida;
– pityriasis versicolor;
– erythrasma (bacterial skin infection in the armpit and groin).

If after 7 days you do not feel better or feel worse, you should consult a doctor.

How to use Biazole

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as told by your doctor or pharmacist. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Before application, wash and dry the affected areas of the skin.
Apply the cream to the affected area, in a thin layer, by gently massaging once a day, preferably in the evening, before going to bed.

The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection and its location:
– in the case of dermatomycosis, generally 2-3 weeks;
– in case of candidiasis, 2-3 weeks;
– in the case of pityriasis versicolor and erythrasma, 2 weeks.

If you stop using Biazole
Use Biazole cream for the entire recommended period of time even if the infection seems to have cleared after a few days, as it may recur if treatment is stopped too early.
