Nadifloxacin Cream 1% Uses

Nadifloxacin Cream 1% is specifically formulated for the treatment of:

  • Acne vulgaris, helping to reduce inflammatory lesions and prevent new acne breakouts.
  • Bacterial skin infections, including superficial skin infections such as folliculitis and impetigo.

How Does Nadifloxacin Cream 1% Work

Nadifloxacin is a topical fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes necessary for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. This action prevents the growth of bacteria and helps to clear up infections.

How to Use Nadifloxacin Cream 1%

  • Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying the cream.
  • Apply a thin layer of Nadifloxacin Cream to the affected skin twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • Gently rub the cream into the skin until it is no longer visible.
  • Wash your hands after applying the cream unless your hands are the area being treated.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Nadifloxacin Cream 1% may include:

  • Local irritation at the application site, including redness, itching, or dryness.
  • Rarely, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling. If side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience severe reactions, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Drug Interactions

Because Nadifloxacin Cream is used topically and absorbed minimally by the skin, it generally has low potential for systemic drug interactions. However, it’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently using, including over-the-counter products and herbal supplements.

Contraindications

Nadifloxacin Cream should not be used by patients who:

  • Are allergic to nadifloxacin or other fluoroquinolones.
  • Have a history of tendon disorders related to fluoroquinolone use.

Precautions and Warnings

  • Use Nadifloxacin Cream with caution in individuals with a known sensitivity to other fluoroquinolones.
  • Prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, discontinue use and initiate appropriate therapy.
  • Avoid excessive sunlight or artificial UV light exposure, and use sunscreen or protective clothing over treated areas when exposure cannot be avoided.

Storage

Store Nadifloxacin Cream at room temperature, away from direct light and moisture. Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use. Do not freeze the cream.

Safety Information

It is important to use Nadifloxacin Cream exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Misuse or overuse of antibiotic creams can lead to decreased effectiveness and increased risk of developing drug-resistant bacteria.
