Zole Skin Ointment
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Zole Skin Ointment is an antifungal medicine used to treat fungal infections of the skin. It works by killing the fungus that causes infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, thrush, ringworm, and dry, flaky skin.
Zole Skin Ointment should be used in the dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need; it will not clear your condition faster and may only increase the side effects.
The effects of the medicine can be increased by keeping the affected area clean and dry and washing hands before and after treating the infection. If you have athlete’s foot, wash your socks or tights thoroughly and change your shoes daily if possible.
The most common side effects of using this medicine include a burning sensation, irritation, itching, and redness at the site of application. These effects are generally resolved on their own. If you experience persistent discomfort or signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult your doctor for further advice.
Before using Zole Skin Ointment, inform your doctor if you have a history of allergies, skin conditions, or circulation disorders. This medication should only be used externally, and contact with the eyes, mouth, or open wounds should be avoided. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine to ensure it is safe for them.

How Zole Ointment works
Zole Skin Ointment works by stopping the growth of fungi that cause skin infections. It does this by interfering with the production of a substance called ergosterol, which is essential for maintaining the fungal cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cells become weak, leaky, and eventually die. This helps clear up infections like athlete's foot, ringworm, and yeast infections, providing relief from itching, redness, and discomfort.
