Zole-F Ointment

What is Zole-F Ointment used for?

Zole-F Ointment is used to treat skin infections which may appear on the feet (Athlete’s foot), in the groin area (jock itch), or between skin folds (sweat rash infected with a yeast infection “thrush”). It is also used for candida infections of the skin and nails. It rapidly relieves the itching caused due to these fungal infections.

Is Zole-F Ointment a steroid cream?

No, Zole-F Ointment is not a steroid cream. It is an antifungal medicine that belongs to the imidazole class of medicines. It works by killing the fungi or by preventing the growth of fungi that cause infection.

Can I use a steroid cream along with Zole-F Ointment?

It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Zole-F Ointment in the evening. You can then stop using the steroid cream gradually over 2-3 weeks.
