Esava Cream may have the following common side effects:

Burning sensation
Stinging sensation
Itching
Irritation
Redness
Dryness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Esava Cream. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Burning sensation: If you face a burning sensation after applying Esava Cream, try to apply it at night time.
Dryness: Apply the cream after taking a bath when your skin is moist to lessen this effect.

Esava Cream contains ketoconazole (2 %), which acts in the body in the following manner:

Interferes with ergosterol synthesis: Ketoconazole acts by obstructing the production of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes.
Inhibits cytochrome P450 enzyme 14α-demethylase: This enzyme plays a crucial role in converting lanosterol to ergosterol. When inhibited by ketoconazole, it causes an accumulation of 14α-methylsterols and a reduction in ergosterol.
Increases membrane permeability: The alteration in membrane components leads to increased permeability, thus inhibiting fungal growth and replication.

Pregnancy

Esava Cream should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It's a good idea to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Caution is advised while using Esava Cream if you're breastfeeding. If applied on the chest, ensure it doesn't get accidentally ingested by the infant. Always consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Alcohol

Interactions between Esava Cream and alcohol are unlikely as it's a topical product. However, always check with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Liver

Esava Cream is a topical product and hence, liver-related precautions are typically not required. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns or liver health issues.

Kidney

As Esava Cream is applied on the skin, it generally does not interact with kidney function. However, if you have kidney issues, it would still be wise to discuss them with your doctor before using this cream.

Using Machines & Driving

Esava Cream is a topical product and should not affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.

Allergy

Do not use Esava Cream if you are known to be allergic to ketoconazole or any other ingredients in the formulation. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction, stop using the cream immediately and seek medical help.

Children

The safety and effectiveness of Esava Cream haven't been established in children below 12 years. Caution is advised while giving this cream to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Esava Cream under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Esava Cream interacts with the following medicines:

Topical Medicines: If you're using other topical medications on the same area of the skin, their effectiveness could potentially be altered. For instance, if you're using medicines like hydrocortisone cream or fusidic acid cream, the interaction may affect their action or absorption.
High-dose or Extended-use Medicines: While not common, interactions might occur if you apply large amounts of Esava Cream over a significant area of skin or if it's used under tight bandages. Medications like warfarin might interact in such cases.

Drug-Food Interactions

Esava Cream does not have any known interactions with food. As it's a topical medication applied to the skin, foods aren't expected to affect its function.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Esava Cream interacts with the following diseases:

Allergic Reactions: If you've had allergic reactions to ketoconazole or any of Esava Cream's other ingredients in the past, avoid using this medicine.
Skin Conditions: In diseases causing broken skin or blisters, such as psoriasis or eczema, applying Esava Cream might cause more irritation.

Daily Dose

The daily application of Esava Cream should be as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on the condition's severity and your response to the cream. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and avoid exceeding the prescribed dosage without a consultation.

Over Dose

If you accidentally apply more Esava Cream than recommended, it's not usually a cause for concern. However, if you notice persisting or worsening symptoms like skin irritation or redness, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Esava Cream at the scheduled time, apply it as soon as you remember. But if it's almost time for the next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.

Store Esava Cream in a cool and dry place.
Do not freeze.
Keep the product in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.
Ensure the tube is tightly closed after use.
Keep this medicine out of reach of children at all times.

Since Esava Cream is used to manage fungal skin infections, maintaining personal hygiene is crucial. Regularly wash your clothes, towels, and bed linens to prevent reinfection.
A balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help strengthen your immune system, making it easier for your body to combat fungal infections. Remember, a strong immune system is your best defence against infections.
