About ZOCON 0.05% GEL

ZOCON 0.05% GEL belongs to the class of medicines called 'antifungals' used to treat fungal skin infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin. 

ZOCON 0.05% GEL contains 'Fluconazole' that kills or prevents fungi or yeast by inhibiting an enzyme in fungi responsible for its normal fat metabolism; this interferes with the formation of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, fungal or yeast cells get killed or their growth is minimized.

ZOCON 0.05% GEL is for external use only. Use ZOCON 0.05% GEL as prescribed by your doctor. ZOCON 0.05% GEL may cause common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in ZOCON 0.05% GEL. Let your doctor know if you have any other skin disorders or illnesses before starting ZOCON 0.05% GEL. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting ZOCON 0.05% GEL.

How does the disease interact with Zocon 0.05% Gel 15gm:
Hepatotoxicity has only sometimes been linked to the usage of Zocon 0.05% Gel 15gm. There have been cases of reversible idiosyncratic hepatitis, cholestasis, and deadly fulminant hepatic failure; the latter generally affects people with substantial underlying medical disorders who are also taking several concurrent drugs. Patients with pre-existing hepatic problems should have periodic liver function tests done, especially during prolonged medication. If liver enzyme levels continue to rise or worsen, treatment should be stopped.

How to manage the interaction:
In patients with preexisting liver abnormalities, particularly during prolonged therapy, liver function tests should be done regularly. Treatment should be withdrawn if persistent elevations or worsening of liver enzyme levels occur.
How does the disease interact with Zocon 0.05% Gel 15gm:
The QT interval on the ECG has been shown to be prolonged by some azole antifungals. During postmarketing experience, there have been a few isolated incidences of QT prolongation and torsade de pointes; these reports typically involved critically ill patients with a number of complicating risk factors, including structural cardiac disease, electrolyte problems, and concurrent medicines. Patients with illnesses that could cause proarrhythmic symptoms should take these medications cautiously. It is best to avoid using drugs that could potentially enhance the risk of cardiotoxicity concurrently.

How to manage the interaction:
It should be administered with caution to patients with heart problems. Concomitant use with other medications that have potential to increase the risk of cardiotoxicity should be avoided.
How does the disease interact with Zocon 0.05% Gel 15gm:
Hemodialysis effectively removes Zocon 0.05% Gel 15gm from the body. Following three hours of dialysis, it has been demonstrated that plasma levels of Zocon 0.05% Gel 15gm decrease by 50%. After hemodialysis, Zocon 0.05% Gel 15gm should be taken.

How to manage the interaction:
Zocon 0.05% Gel 15gm should be administered after hemodialysis.
