Itch Guard Plus Cream

Overview

Itch Guard is an over-the-counter (OTC) antifungal cream. It is used to help manage fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and other related skin discomforts. It contains terbinafine, which stops fungal growth, and menthol, which provides a cooling, soothing effect. Itch Guard helps relieve itching, redness, irritation, and burning sensations associated with fungal infections. It may also help with skin issues caused by excessive moisture and sweating. Regular application helps soothe affected areas and supports healthier-looking skin. It is for external use only. Clean and dry the affected area before applying this medicine. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application. Do not stop using it until you have finished the complete course, even when you feel better. Stopping the application too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening. Itch Guard cream is usually well-tolerated. However, some people may occasionally experience mild irritation, redness, dryness, or burning at the site of application. These side effects are generally temporary. Consult your doctor if these persist. Avoid direct contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. You must inform your doctor if there is no improvement even after two weeks of treatment. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking. Keep the cream in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not use in case of an allergy to any of its ingredients. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds.
