How does Synadil Cream work?

Synadil Cream is a corticosteroid used in the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions. It also has antipruritic properties (reduces itching). It reduces the release of chemicals that cause inflammation, thereby reducing redness, swelling and itching of the skin.

What specific care to be taken while using Synadil Cream?

While using Synadil Cream, do not contact anyone who has shingles, chickenpox or measles. If you accidentally come in contact with any person having them, please inform your doctor immediately, as it requires special treatment if you have not had these illnesses.

Can I use Synadil Cream every day?

Do not use for longer-term unless prescribed by your doctor as prolonged use may cause thinning of the skin and easy bruising.

How long does it take Synadil Cream to work?

Synadil Cream should improve your condition within the first 2 weeks of your treatment. Consult your doctor if the symptoms do not improve.

Synadil Cream is effective against which fungi?

Synadil Cream is effective against Trichophyton species which cause athlete’s foot, ringworm infection, and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the buttocks or groin). Additionally, it is effective against yeast known as Candida, which commonly causes vaginal thrush (an infection caused by the overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans).

How to use Synadil Cream?

Before using Synadil Cream, clean and dry the affected area of the skin. Then, apply a thin layer of the medicine to the affected area and gently rub it in. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application. If Synadil Cream accidentally comes into contact with the nose, mouth, or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

I have started using Synadil Cream. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?

You should see an improvement in the symptoms of skin infection, such as soreness or itching, within a few days of treatment with Synadil Cream. However, signs such as scaling and redness may take longer to subside. Even if you feel better, do not stop using Synadil Cream before the duration advised by your doctor.

For how long should I apply Synadil Cream? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?

The type of infection determines the duration of treatment. In general, therapy for tinea infection with Synadil Cream is continued for 1 month, and for candida infection, it is continued for at least 15 days. Do not stop using Synadil Cream on your own, even if you feel better, because the infection may recur as it takes some time to kill the fungus.

Is Synadil Cream safe to use in children?

Synadil Cream is safe for children only if it is used as prescribed by the doctor.

Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?

Keep the affected areas of the skin clean and dry, but avoid excessive rubbing. Although itching may make you want to scratch, avoid scratching as it will damage the skin’s surface and cause the infection to spread further. Avoid sharing towels, bath mats, and other personal items with others, as you may spread the infection to them.

Does Synadil Cream affect contraception?

Synadil Cream may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, like condoms and diaphragms. If you are using the cream on the penis or vulva, you are recommended to use alternative contraceptive methods, for at least 5 days after using Synadil Cream.

My itching is gone. Can I stop using Synadil Cream when I feel better?

No, do not stop using Synadil Cream without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better, as your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, for better and complete treatment, it is advised to use Synadil Cream for the prescribed duration.
