Joyneca

Joyneca Anti fungal Soap 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 skin and nails. It rapidly relieves the itching caused due to these fungal infections.

No, Joyneca Anti fungal Soap is not a steroid cream. It is an anti-fungal medicine which belongs to the imidazole class of medicines. It works by killing the fungi or by preventing the growth of fungi that cause infection.

The common side effects are application site burning, redness, and itching. The application site may also develop some uncommon side effects such as discomfort, dryness, bleeding, severe allergic reactions, urticaria or hives, rash, skin exfoliation, sticky skin, prickling sensation, or inflammation.

It is recommended that you use a mild steroid ointment like hydrocortisone cream/ointment in the morning and use Joyneca Anti fungal Soap in the evening. You can then stop using the steroid cream gradually over 2-3 weeks. But, if you have used a potent corticosteroid for seborrheic dermatitis, maintain at least a gap of 2 weeks before you apply Joyneca Anti fungal Soap to prevent skin sensitization.

Wash the affected area thoroughly with water and then dry it. Wash your hands carefully (until and unless your hands are also affected) after applying Joyneca Anti fungal Soap. This will prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the body or other people.

You should use Joyneca Anti fungal Soap for as long as advised by your doctor. Generally, it is to be used for 2-4 weeks for jock itch and sweat rash and 2-6 weeks for Athlete’s foot. Do not stop using it even if your symptoms have disappeared because the infection may reappear if not properly treated.

If you forget to use Joyneca Anti fungal Soap, do not worry and continue using Joyneca Anti fungal Soap as soon as you remember. However, if you are not sure and have any other doubts, please consult your doctor.
