Method of administration:
Always use Biazol exactly as your doctor has told you. You should talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Before application, wash and dry the affected areas of the skin.
Apply the cream to the affected area, in a thin layer, by gently massaging, once a day, preferably in the evening, before going to bed.
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection and its location:
- in the case of dermatomycosis, generally 2-3 weeks;

You should avoid contact with eyes.
Due to the potential risk of liver toxicity, caution is recommended when applying:
- on large areas of skin;
- in areas with skin lesions;
- in infants (due to the body surface area/weight ratio and the occlusive effect – they do not allow air to pass through the diapers).
In infants, Biazol should only be administered under medical supervision.
In Candida infections, you should not use soap with an acidic pH (it favors the development of infections).
