Composition

Ozenoxacin (1 %)

Noxa Cream is primarily used for managing impetigo, a surface-level bacterial skin infection. It belongs to the quinolone class of antibiotics.

In addition to its chief application, this medication can be used to manage other bacterial skin infections caused by the same bacteria that cause impetigo. The cream is particularly effective against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, which are common culprits of impetigo.

Before you start using this cream, consult your doctor about your current health condition and any ongoing medications you're taking. If you experience any side effects while using the cream, inform your doctor right away. For the cream to work effectively, it's important that you continue applying it for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Noxa Cream is used for managing the following health conditions:

Topical treatment of impetigo in adults
Management of impetigo in children aged 2 months and older
Treatment of skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus
Treatment of skin infections due to Streptococcus pyogenes

Here's how you should use Noxa Cream:

Ensure your hands and the affected skin area are clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of the cream to the infected skin area as prescribed by your doctor.
If your hands are not the area being treated, wash them thoroughly after applying the cream.
If pus or crusts cover the impetigo lesions, gently remove them with warm water and gauze before applying the cream.
You can protect the treated area with sterile gauze or bandage if needed.
Be sure to consult your doctor for personalised advice on using this medication.

Noxa Cream is applied topically.

Using Noxa Cream may cause the following side effects:

Rosacea (redness and visible blood vessels in your face)
Seborrheic dermatitis (skin condition affecting your scalp, causing scaly patches, red skin and stubborn dandruff)
Pain at the application site
Pruritus (intense itching on the skin where the cream has been applied)
Erythema (redness or rash on the skin area where the cream has been used)
Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin area where you have applied the cream)

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Noxa Cream. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Noxa Cream contains ozenoxacin (1 % w/v), which operates in the body as follows:

Inhibition of DNA Replication Enzymes: Ozenoxacin works by blocking two crucial enzymes - DNA gyrase A and topoisomerase IV, which play a significant role in bacterial DNA replication.
Prevention of Bacterial Multiplication: By inhibiting these enzymes, ozenoxacin effectively stops the bacteria from multiplying further, thus assisting in controlling and eliminating the infection.
This dual-targeting activity makes ozenoxacin an effective agent against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, helping manage impetigo effectively.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, caution is advised when using Noxa Cream. It is best to consult your doctor before starting this medication.

Breastfeeding

Exercise caution when using Noxa Cream if you are breastfeeding. As always, it is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Alcohol

Alcohol does not have any known interactions with Noxa Cream, but as with any medication, moderation is advised.

Liver

Noxa Cream can be used safely even if you have liver health issues. However, always discuss any concerns with your doctor before starting to use this medicine.

Kidney

If you have kidney health issues, caution is advised before using Noxa Cream. It's advisable to consult your doctor before starting this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Noxa Cream application does not affect activities such as driving and operating machinery.

Allergy

Noxa Cream should not be used if you have a known allergy to ozenoxacin or any other ingredients in the formulation. If you've had a reaction to similar medicines in the past, make sure to discuss this with your doctor.

Children

Noxa Cream should be used with caution in children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Noxa Cream under medical supervision as they might be on other medication. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Given the low systemic absorption of ozenoxacin when applied as a cream, the potential for interactions with oral or injectable medications is considered negligible. However, as a precaution, you should inform your doctor about all medications you are taking before using this cream.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known specific food interactions with Noxa Cream.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Noxa Cream can interact with the following diseases:

Hypersensitivity: If you have a known allergy to ozenoxacin or any other component of Noxa Cream, you should avoid using this medication as it could trigger allergic reactions.
Quinolone sensitivity: Patients with a history of sensitivity to quinolone antibiotics should use Noxa Cream cautiously as it contains ozenoxacin, a quinolone antibiotic.
Skin conditions: If you have rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis, be aware that these conditions may worsen with the use of Noxa Cream.

Daily Dose

The daily dose of this cream should be applied as instructed by your doctor. The dosage may vary based on factors like severity of the condition and response to treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage and never exceed it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally apply too much Noxa Cream, you might experience mild skin irritation or reddening. Wash off the extra cream with warm water and soap. If symptoms persist, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Noxa Cream at the usual time, do it as soon as you remember. If it's close to your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular application schedule. Never apply extra cream without consulting your doctor.

Store Noxa Cream at a temperature between 15°C and 30°C.
Keep it away from excessive light and moisture.
Always ensure that the tube is tightly closed when not in use.
It's crucial to keep this cream out of the reach of children.
Use Noxa Cream before the expiry date printed on the package.

If you're using Noxa Cream to manage impetigo, maintain a high level of personal hygiene. Regularly washing hands with soap can help prevent the infection from spreading.
A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can support your immune system, making it easier for your body to fight off bacteria-causing skin infections like impetigo.
