Obalu 1% Tube Of 30gm Ointment
Description
Obalu Ointment is an antifungal medicine used to treat skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm of the body (tinea corporis). It works by killing the fungi that
cause these infections. Use Obalu Ointment exactly as your doctor tells you. Don’t apply it more often or in larger amounts than directed, as it won’t help you heal faster and could increase side effects. Skin infections usually improve within 2 to 4 weeks. Let your doctor know if you don’t see progress. The Obalu Ointment works best if you keep the affected area clean and dry, and wash your hands before and after applying it. If you have athlete’s foot, make sure to wash your socks or tights thoroughly and, if possible, change your shoes daily. Common side effects may include burning, irritation, itching, redness, or dryness at the application site. These are usually not serious and often resolve on their own. If they persist or bother you, contact your doctor. Seek emergency help if you have signs of an allergic reaction, such as a rash, swelling of your lips, throat, or face, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or nausea. Avoid getting the Obalu Ointment in your eyes. If accidental, rinse your eyes well with water and seek medical attention immediately. Other medicines taken by mouth or injection probably won’t affect how Obalu Ointment works. However, talk to your doctor before using it if you’ve recently used a steroid or had an allergic reaction to another antifungal. Also, consult your doctor before using Obalu Ointment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
