Mecare 300mg Tablet

Mecare 300mg Tablet contains Isoconazole 300mg, an imidazole antifungal. Made by Mass Pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for fungal skin infections, ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch and vaginal thrush. Pack size: 1×2 tablets.

Uses of Mecare 300mg Tablet

Mecare 300mg Tablet is an antifungal used on the skin to treat infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch and fungal infections in skin folds. Some creams combine it with a steroid (diflucortolone) to calm itchy, inflamed fungal rashes more quickly. Vaginal preparations are used to treat vaginal yeast infection (thrush).

How Mecare 300mg Tablet works

Isoconazole belongs to the azole group of antifungals. It blocks the production of ergosterol, an essential part of the fungal cell membrane, so the membrane becomes leaky and the fungus stops growing and dies. It works against dermatophytes, yeasts such as Candida and some Gram-positive bacteria.

Possible side effects

Only a small amount of Mecare 300mg Tablet is absorbed, so side effects are mostly local, such as:

• Burning or stinging where applied
• Itching
• Redness or irritation
• Dry skin

Stop using it and see a doctor if you develop severe irritation, blistering, swelling or a widespread rash.

Precautions and warnings

• Apply skin products only to the affected area and keep them away from the eyes and mouth.
• Use it for the full time advised, as stopping too early can allow the infection to come back.
• If your cream also contains a steroid, do not use it on the face for long periods or as a skin-lightening cream.
• Some vaginal products can damage latex condoms and diaphragms, so use another form of contraception during treatment.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, use it only after speaking to your doctor.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
