What Is Resolve Plus 1% Used For?
Resolve Plus 1% is a topical cream that combines antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties to treat various inflamed skin conditions.
Primary Uses
Resolve Plus 1% treats inflamed skin conditions including tinea, thrush, seborrhoeic dermatitis, inflamed fungal infections where bacterial infection may be present, and fungal infected eczema/dermatitis.
How It Works
This is a broad-spectrum anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory cream. Miconazole nitrate acts against fungal organisms to help treat infections, while hydrocortisone reduces the irritation and redness of inflamed skin.
Good to know: For conditions without inflammation, use an anti-fungal agent without hydrocortisone, such as Resolve Tinea.
How to Take Resolve Plus 1%
Resolve Plus 1% is for external use only and should be applied exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
Dosage Instructions
Gently rub into the infected skin and surrounding area 2 times daily. Once the inflammation has subsided, continue treatment with an anti-fungal agent without hydrocortisone, such as Resolve Cream until symptoms disappear. Continue treatment for 14 days after symptoms disappear. Regular application is essential for successful treatment.
What If You Miss a Dose?
If you forget to use Resolve Plus, use it as soon as you remember, and then go back to using it as you would normally.
Important: Do not try to make up for the amount you missed by using more than you would normally use.
