Frequently asked questions

What is Exiderm Powder and what is it used for?

Exiderm Powder belongs to a class of medicines known as antifungal medicines. It is used in the treatment of fungal infections such as oral thrush (fungal or yeast infection of the mouth). It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane and thus cures the infections.

Is Exiderm Powder safe to use for a long time?

Exiderm Powder should not be used for more than 7 days, unless your doctor tells you to. This is because with long-term use the fungal infection may become resistant to Exiderm Powder. As a result, the medicine may no longer be able to work properly. If your condition does not improve even after 6 months, please talk to your doctor. The doctor may modify your dose or probably suggest a different or more efficient medicine.

How does Exiderm Powder work?

How long does Exiderm Powder take to work?

Exiderm Powder starts working as early as 3 days. The itching and discharge (if any) are the first ones to get better. Pain and soreness may take a little longer to resolve, as long as 7 days. But, if it takes longer, or if your symptoms do not subside or get worse, please consult your doctor immediately.

What if I forget to take a dose of Exiderm Powder?

f you forget to take a dose of Exiderm Powder, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one as this may increase the chances of developing side effects.

I feel better now, can I stop taking Exiderm Powder?

No, you should not stop taking Exiderm Powder suddenly without talking to your doctor. This is because your symptoms may worsen and your infection may return. Remember, your symptoms may improve and you may feel better before the infection is completely cleared. Stopping the medication too early could allow the fungus to continue to grow and hence, prevent complete healing.
