Safely Buy Mycolog II Cream ( Nystatin/Triamcinolone ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Mycolog II Cream is a medication that contains a combination of two active ingredients: nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide.

Mycolog II Cream is primarily used to treat fungal skin infections, specifically cutaneous candidiasis.

Nystatin: Nystatin is an antifungal medication that works by stopping the growth and spread of fungi. It is effective against a variety of yeasts and fungi by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of the fungus, which disrupts its structure and function.

Triamcinolone acetonide: Triamcinolone acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, and itching associated with fungal infections. It works by suppressing the immune response and reducing the release of inflammatory substances in the body.

Use and Dosage

Use this medication only on the skin. Wash and dry your hands before using. Clean and dry the affected area. Then apply a small amount of medication in a thin layer on the skin and rub it gently as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day (in the morning and evening). Wash your hands after use unless you are using this product to treat the hands.

Do not bandage, cover, or wrap the treated area unless you are instructed to do so by your doctor. If you are using this medication on a child’s diaper area, do not use tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants.

If you are directed to use this medication in the groin area, apply it sparingly and wear loose-fitting clothes.

Avoid getting this medication in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If this occurs, wipe off the medication and rinse thoroughly with water.

Use this medication only for the condition for which it was prescribed. Do not use large amounts of this medication or apply this more often or for a longer period than directed. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day.

Continue to use this medication for the full-time prescribed, even if symptoms improve after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow the fungus to continue to grow, which may result in a return of the infection.

Cautions

• Before using nystatin with triamcinolone, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other corticosteroids (such as hydrocortisone, or prednisone); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
• Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history.
• Rarely, using corticosteroid medications for a long time or over large areas of skin can make it more difficult for your body to respond to physical stress.

• Though it is unlikely, this medication may temporarily slow down a child’s growth if used for a long time. See the doctor regularly so your child’s height can be checked.
