Other Medications to Avoid

Management of Side Effects

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless and resolve when discontinuing this medicine. However, if you experience any severe side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

  • Drinking plenty of water can help manage some minor side effects, such as skin dryness.
  • If you experience skin irritation after applying the cream, try using it at a different time of the day when your skin may be less sensitive.
  • Always wash your hands before and after applying the cream to reduce the chances of infection or irritation.

Use in Driving and Operating Machinery

Use in Pregnancy and Lactation

  • There is a lack of adequate data on the use of Ozenoxacin during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • It is advised to consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Special Dietary and Lifestyle Recommendations

  • Maintaining good hygiene practices can help manage impetigo and prevent it from spreading. This includes washing the affected area with soap and water, not touching or scratching the sores, and washing the clothes, towels, and bed linens that have been in contact with the affected skin.
  • Following a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can boost your immune system and help your body fight off bacterial skin infections more effectively.
  • Regularly moisturising the skin can help keep it healthy and prevent further infections.
