Ring Guard Antifungal Medicated Cream is a well-known over-the-counter topical medication used in India to treat a variety of fungal and bacterial skin infections. The 12 gm tube is a standard size for this product.

 

Key Ingredients and How They Work

 

The cream contains a combination of active ingredients to combat the infections:

  • Miconazole Nitrate: This is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that works by damaging the cell membrane of the fungi, which stops their growth and kills them.

  • Neomycin Sulphate: This is an antibiotic that helps to treat any secondary bacterial infections that may be present alongside the fungal infection.

  • Chlorocresol: This is a preservative with some antimicrobial properties.

 

Uses

 

Ring Guard is primarily used to treat:

  • Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): A common fungal infection that causes a red, circular rash on the skin.

  • Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis): A fungal infection of the feet that causes itching, redness, and cracking, often between the toes.

  • Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): A fungal infection in the groin area that causes itching and a red rash.

  • Other Fungal Skin Infections: It can also be effective for other mild fungal skin infections and superinfections caused by bacteria.

 

How to Use

 

  1. Clean and dry the affected area: Before applying the cream, thoroughly wash and dry the infected area.

  2. Apply a thin layer: Take a small amount of the cream and apply it as a thin layer to the affected skin.

  3. Gentle massage: Gently massage the cream into the skin until it is fully absorbed.

  4. Frequency: Apply the cream 2-3 times a day or as directed by a healthcare professional.

  5. Continue treatment: It is crucial to continue using the cream for at least 10 days after the symptoms have disappeared to prevent the infection from returning.

 

Important Warnings and Precautions

 

  • For External Use Only: Do not swallow the cream.

  • Avoid Contact with Eyes: Do not apply the cream near your eyes or on mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

  • Discontinue Use if Irritation Occurs: If you experience increased redness, irritation, or an allergic reaction, stop using the cream and consult a doctor.

  • Not for Broken Skin: Do not apply the cream on open wounds, cuts, or severely inflamed skin.

  • Consult a Doctor: If symptoms do not improve after 7 days of use or if the infection is severe, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.

  • Keep Out of Reach of Children: Store the cream in a safe place, away from children.

 

Potential Side Effects

 

Side effects are generally mild but can include:

  • A mild burning or stinging sensation at the application site.

  • Skin redness or irritation.

  • Itching or rash.

If any of these side effects become severe or persistent, it is advisable to stop using the cream and seek medical advice.
