Olesoft Cream is primarily used to manage dry, scaly or itchy skin conditions. This cream belongs to the category of skincare products with moisturising properties. It is a combination medicine formulated to nourish and protect your skin.

In addition to managing dry skin conditions like xerosis and ichthyosis vulgaris, this can also help manage other skin concerns such as eczema, psoriasis, or age-related skin dryness. Its moisturising effects aid in alleviating discomfort associated with these conditions.

Before you start using this, it's important to consult your doctor for appropriate dosage and frequency instructions. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while using this cream, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue applying the cream for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Olesoft Cream is used for the following:

Managing dry skin conditions including xerosis
Reducing itchiness and flaky skin in ichthyosis vulgaris
Alleviating discomfort associated with eczema
Mitigating symptoms of psoriasis such as scaly patches
Addressing age-related skin dryness

Directions for Use of Olesoft Cream 100gm

When using Olesoft Cream, follow these simple steps:

Ensure that the area of skin where the cream will be applied is clean and dry.
Gently apply the cream to the affected region.
Massage it into your skin until it is completely absorbed.
Repeat this process typically twice daily or as advised by your doctor.
Remember, consistent use as part of your regular skincare routine can lead to optimal results.

Olesoft Cream is applied topically.

While using Olesoft Cream, you might experience some side effects, which are usually mild and temporary. These include:

Redness: This can occur in the area where the cream is applied.
Itching
Stinging sensation: This refers to a sharp, burning feeling on your skin after applying the cream.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Olesoft Cream . However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here's how you can manage some common side effects:

Redness: If your skin gets red after applying the cream, try using it at night before going to bed.
Stinging sensation: To avoid this, you might want to apply the cream after having a bath or washing your face with warm water.

Olesoft Cream contains three active ingredients:

Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (2.5%): Also known as sodium PCA, this naturally occurring humectant derived from amino acids binds water to the skin effectively, providing long-lasting hydration and preventing moisture loss. It also helps maintain the skin's natural pH balance and supports its barrier function.
Sodium Lactate (2.5%): Sodium lactate is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that serves as a humectant - a substance that attracts and retains moisture in the skin. It helps improve hydration and softness while promoting skin cell turnover and rejuvenation through its mild exfoliating properties.
Olive Oil (2%): This natural oil forms a protective barrier on your skin surface that prevents moisture loss and provides essential fatty acids for skin health.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Olesoft Cream if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, it's wise to speak with your doctor before applying Olesoft Cream.

Alcohol

The use of alcohol does not typically affect the effectiveness of topical products like Olesoft Cream. However, always follow your doctor's advice regarding alcohol consumption.

Liver

As Olesoft Cream is a topical medication, it seldom interacts with liver health. Nevertheless, if you have liver conditions, discuss them with your doctor before starting this cream.

Kidney

Kidney health rarely influences the effectiveness of Olesoft Cream. But if you have known kidney issues, it is advisable to consult your doctor before using this cream.

Using Machines & Driving

Applying Olesoft Cream doesn't usually affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Nonetheless, always ensure you can perform these activities safely.

Allergy

If you are allergic to olive oil, sodium lactate or sodium pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, caution is advised when using Olesoft Cream. Discuss any known allergies with your doctor prior to use.

Children

Olesoft Cream is designed for adult use. If considering its use for children under 18 years of age, always consult your doctor first.

Older Patients

Older patients may use Olesoft Cream under medical guidance as they might be more susceptible to skin sensitivity. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Olesoft Cream interacts with the following medicines:

Topical Steroids: Olesoft Cream, if applied concurrently with topical steroids like hydrocortisone or betamethasone, may dilute the steroid's effect, reducing its efficacy in managing inflammatory skin conditions.
Topical Retinoids: When used alongside topical retinoids such as tretinoin or adapalene, Olesoft Cream may alleviate the drying and irritating effects of retinoids. However, it's important to apply these medications at different times to avoid diluting the retinoid's effectiveness.
Topical Antifungals: Medicines like ketoconazole or clotrimazole may have their absorption altered when used with Olesoft Cream. It is suggested to apply these medications a few hours apart to ensure their full efficacy.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known specific food or beverage interactions with Olesoft Cream. As a topical formulation, it is unlikely to interact with any food products.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Olesoft Cream interacts with the following diseases:

Dermatitis: If you have dermatitis, applying Olesoft Cream might cause stinging or burning sensations on inflamed areas.
Skin Infections: People with skin infections should be cautious as applying Olesoft Cream could potentially spread the infection due to massaging the cream into the skin.
Open Wounds: Applying this cream on open wounds could delay healing and possibly lead to infections.

Daily Dose

The daily dosage of Olesoft Cream should be as advised by your doctor. The dosage may vary, depending on individual factors like the severity of your condition and how you respond to the medicine. Always stick to your doctor's instructions and don't exceed the prescribed dosage without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

In case you apply more Olesoft Cream than required, you might notice mild skin reactions like redness or itching. Don't panic. Rinse the area with cool water and if symptoms persist, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Olesoft Cream as directed, do so as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never increase the amount of cream applied without consulting your doctor.

Keep Olesoft Cream at room temperature, between 10°C to 25°C.
Protect the cream from direct sunlight and excess heat.
Store in a dry place away from moisture.
Always ensure the cream is kept out of children's reach.

Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated from inside, complementing Olesoft Cream's moisturising action on your skin.
Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like flaxseeds, walnuts and fish, in your diet. These can help nourish your skin and manage dryness effectively.
