FAQs
Q. What is Biotral 75gm Soap used for?
Biotral 75gm Soap is used to treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton spp., Microsporum spp., and Epidermophyton floccosum. The infections caused could be ringworm infection, infection of feet, or infection in groin and buttocks. This medicine also treats persistent infection of fingernails and toenails, persistent candida (yeast) infections of vagina or candida (yeast) infections of the mouth or throat in patients with lower resistance to disease. It is also used in the treatment of cryptococcal infection and infections caused by histoplasma, aspergillus and blastomyces.
Q. Biotral 75gm Soap is effective against which fungi?
Biotral 75gm Soap is effective against Trichophyton species which cause ringworm infection, athlete’s foot, and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the groin or buttocks). It is also effective against yeast known as Candida which commonly causes vaginal thrush (infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans).
Q. How to use Biotral 75gm Soap?
Before using Biotral 75gm Soap, clean and dry the affected area. Gently and thoroughly massage it into the skin. Be careful not to get the medication in your eyes or mouth. If Biotral 75gm Soap gets in your eyes accidentally, wash with plenty of water and call your doctor if your eyes are irritated.
Q. For how long do I need to take Biotral 75gm Soap?
The dose and length of treatment will depend on the type and site of infection and your response to the treatment. For example, if you are taking Biotral 75gm Soap for athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), the dose may need to be taken for 30 days. While, on the other hand, if you are taking it for candidal infection of vagina, the dose may take about 1 to 3 3 days depending on the dosage advised by the doctor.
Q. I am taking Biotral 75gm Soap for nail infection but there does not seem to be any improvement. Can I stop taking it?
No, you should not stop taking Biotral 75gm Soap without completing the entire course. This is because if you stop the medication then your fungal infection may not get completely cured. It usually takes about 6-9 months for the nail lesions to get cured and after that the new nail also takes several months to grow. Therefore, do not worry if you do not see any improvement during the treatment.
Q. What precautions do I need to take while using Biotral 75gm Soap?
Be careful not to get Biotral 75gm Soap into your eyes or mouth. If you happen to get it in your eyes, rinse off with plenty of water immediately and contact your doctor. You must not use Biotral 75gm Soap if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Let your doctor know if you notice any allergic reaction while using it for the first time. Inform your doctor if you are taking any medicines regularly to prevent any allergic reaction with other medicines. Do not cover the area being treated with Biotral 75gm Soap with a bandage, as this may increase absorption of this medicine and increase the side effects. Do not use more than what is recommended to relieve your symptoms faster. Using more than what is advised will only increase the side effects. Also, it is advised to inform your doctor if you are planning to conceive. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should use Biotral 75gm Soap only if prescribed by the doctor.
Q. For how long should I apply Biotral 75gm Soap? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?
The duration of treatment with Biotral 75gm Soap depends on the type of infection. In general, the treatment for tinea infection is advised for 1 month and candida infection for at least 15 days. Do not stop the treatment on your own even if you feel better because the infection may come back as it takes some time to kill the fungus.
Q. Is Biotral 75gm Soap safe to use in children?
Biotral 75gm Soap is safe for children only if taken as directed by the doctor. It should be given to children in the correct dose only for the prescribed length of time. Minor side effects may occur but usually, they are not bothersome. However, if you develop a burning sensation, redness, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop the medicine and contact your doctor.
Q. Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. You may have the urge to scratch because of itchiness but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of the skin and cause the infection to spread further. Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
Q. Does Biotral 75gm Soap affect contraception?
Biotral 75gm Soap may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, like diaphragms and condoms. If you are using the cream on the vulva or penis, it is advised to use alternative methods of contraception for at least 5 days after using Biotral 75gm Soap.
Q. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?
The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, other signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. Do not stop applying this medicine before the duration advised by your doctor, even if you feel better.
Q. What should I do if I forget to use Biotral 75gm Soap?
If you forget to use Biotral 75gm Soap, do not worry and continue using Biotral 75gm Soap as soon as you remember. However, if you are not sure and have any other doubts, please consult your doctor.
