Frequently asked questions FOR Beclocin O

Lidocaine

Q. What is Lidocaine used for?
This medication is usually applied by a healthcare professional to the area being treated or to the medical equipment as part of a medical procedure. It helps to numb the area and reduces the discomfort associated with the insertion of medical instruments such as needles or catheters. It also helps to reduce the pain and inflammation in conditions such as heamorrhoids (piles) and anal fissures.
Q. Is Lidocaine toxic?
If Lidocaine is used under the supervision of a doctor or as directed by your doctor, it is generally safe to use. However, using more than what is recommended may lead to a number of serious health issues such as numbness of mouth and throat if swallowed. This can lead to difficulty swallowing and even choking.
Q. How long does it take for Lidocaine to work?
Lidocaine is applied at the start of a medical procedure and takes 3-5 minutes for the numbing effect to occur.
Show More
Q. Who should not be given Lidocaine?
Lidocaine should not be given to patients who are allergic to it, have decreased blood volume (hypovolemia), or complete heart block. If the solution also contains adrenaline, it should not be injected into a vein or used in areas such as fingers, toes, ears, nose or penis, as the blood supply to these areas may not be sufficient.
Q. Is Lidocaine safe?
Lidocaine is safe for usage when applied topically as instructed by a doctor. Lidocaine in injectable formulation must not be self-medicated. Always follow the doctor's advice regarding its use.
Q. Can I take this medicine before eating food?
Yes, but you should keep a minimum gap of 60 minutes between drug use and subsequent food intake.
Q. Can this medicine be used in children?
No, this medicine is not approved for use in children below 18 years of age. It is advised to consult your doctor before giving this medicine to children.

Beclometasone

Q. What is thrush? Can Beclometasone cause thrush?
Thrush is a fungal infection of the nose and throat caused by candida. Beclometasone can cause thrush as a common side effect. To avoid getting fungal infections, you should thoroughly rinse your mouth after using a nasal spray. If you experience any redness or white colored patches in your nose or mouth, inform your doctor.
Q. How does Beclometasone work?
Beclometasone is a corticosteroid, which works by decreasing the inflammation caused by allergies. It reduces inflammation by blocking the release of certain natural substances that cause allergic symptoms such as swelling, redness and pain.
Q. How long does Beclometasone take to start working?
The time required by Beclometasone to start showing its effects may differ from person to person. Usually, it starts showing relief within 8 hours of starting Beclometasone. It may even take several days before you see maximum benefits. In order to improve your symptoms faster, it is important to take the medicine regularly as it increases efficiency of the medicine.

Q. My friend developed a severe allergic reaction when she started Beclometasone. Could it be due to Beclometasone even though it is used for allergy purposes?
In very rare cases, Beclometasone can cause serious allergic reactions such as rash, hives, breathing difficulty, swelling of the face, throat and tongue. It may also cause low blood pressure which may further cause lightheadedness and the patient may even faint. You should immediately contact your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms as it could be life threatening.
Q. For how long should I take Beclometasone?
It is recommended that you take Beclometasone for the duration advised by the doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
Q. Is Beclometasone safe?
Beclometasone is safe if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Take it exactly as directed and do not skip any dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and let your doctor know if any of the side effects bother you.
Q. I have developed chickenpox while using Beclometasone. Can Beclometasone be responsible for chickenpox? What should be done?
Beclometasone is a corticosteroid which can weaken the immune system of the body. The decrease in immune response could have been the cause of chickenpox. You should immediately stop the medication and contact the doctor. The doctor may consider treating it with antiviral agents.
Q. Does long-term use of Beclometasone have any side effects?
Usual doses of Beclometasone can be tolerated by most people for long periods of time. But, few people may develop nose bleed, hole in nasal cartilage, and visual disturbances due to cataract or glaucoma if they take Beclometasone for a long time. Moreover, high doses also tend to increase the risk of weakening of bones (osteoporosis) and diabetes.
Q. Can I take Beclometasone for a runny nose and sneezing due to the common cold?
No, Beclometasone is only meant for allergic rhinitis. Symptoms of common cold can be due to viral infection and this medicine does not cure such infections. Therefore, you may not benefit from Beclometasone.

Clotrimazole

Q. What is Clotrimazole used for?
Clotrimazole is an antifungal medicine. It is used to treat fungal skin infections such as ringworm (fungal skin infection that causes a red scaly rash on different parts of the body), athlete’s foot (fungal infection of the skin on the feet and between the toes), fungal nappy rash and fungal sweat rash. It is also used to relieve irritation of the vulva (external thrush) and irritation occurring at the end of the penis, which may be associated with thrush.
Q. Clotrimazole is effective against which fungi?
Clotrimazole is effective against Trichophyton species which cause ringworm infection, athlete’s foot, and jock itch (fungal infection of the skin in the groin or buttocks). It is also effective against yeast known as Candida which commonly causes vaginal thrush (infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast called Candida albicans).
Q. I have started using Clotrimazole. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?
The symptoms of skin infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, the signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. Do not stop applying this medicine before the duration advised by your doctor, even if you feel better.
Show More
Q. What precautions are necessary while applying Clotrimazole?
Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying Clotrimazole. If you are using the cream for an infected foot, wash and dry your feet thoroughly before applying the cream, especially between the toes, before applying the cream. Clotrimazole should be applied thinly and evenly and rubbed gently onto the affected areas two or three times daily.
Q. For how long should I apply Clotrimazole? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection. In general, the treatment is continued for 1 month for tinea infection and for at least 15 days for candida infection. Do not stop the treatment on your own even if you feel better because the infection may come back as it takes some time to kill the fungus.
Q. Is Clotrimazole safe to use in children?
Clotrimazole is safe for children only if taken as directed by the doctor. It should be given to children in the correct dose only for the prescribed length of time. Minor side effects may occur but usually, they are not bothersome. However, if you develop a burning sensation, redness, and itching (which is severe in nature), stop the medicine and contact your doctor.
Q. Are there any measures that should be taken to help a faster recovery?
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. You may have the urge to scratch because of itchiness but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of the skin and cause the infection to spread further. Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
Q. Does Clotrimazole affect contraception?
Clotrimazole may reduce the effectiveness of rubber contraceptives, like diaphragms and condoms. If you are using the cream on the vulva or penis, you should use alternative methods of contraception, for at least 5 days after using Clotrimazole.
Q. Is candida infection dangerous?
Candida is a yeast which is a form of fungus. It causes infections such as candidiasis or thrush in humans and other animals. Candida infections are not usually contagious, though in some cases people with weak immune systems can catch the infection. The infection does not usually spread by sexual contact. Candida infection can be cured with early diagnosis and treatment. However, if left untreated then it can result in a serious infection.

Chloramphenicol

Q. How long does Chloramphenicol takes to work?
Usually, Chloramphenicol starts working soon after taking it. However, it may take some days to kill all the harmful bacteria and make you feel better.
Q. What if I don't get better after using Chloramphenicol?
Inform your doctor if you don't feel better after finishing the full course of treatment. Also, inform him if your symptoms are getting worse while using this medicine.
Q. Can I stop taking Chloramphenicol when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop taking Chloramphenicol and complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
