Overview

Xepa Zaricort Cream is supplied as a cream, with Hydrocortisone and Miconazole nitrate. It is supplied in a pack size of 15g.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Clean and dry the affected area before applying. Apply a thin layer of Xepa Zaricort Cream to the affected skin and the surrounding area, usually twice a day or as directed by a pharmacist or doctor. Continue treatment for the duration advised, even if symptoms improve early, to help ensure the fungal infection is properly cleared, but avoid prolonged use of the steroid component beyond what is recommended.

Dosage

For adults, apply a thin layer of Xepa Zaricort Cream to the affected area twice daily. The antifungal component is typically continued for the period advised by a pharmacist or doctor (commonly a few weeks) to fully clear the infection, while the hydrocortisone component is generally intended for shorter-term use to manage inflammation; do not exceed the duration recommended on the label or by a healthcare professional.

Shelf Life

Xepa Zaricort Cream remains stable until the expiry date printed on the packaging when stored correctly and unopened. Do not use the product past its expiry date, and discard it if there are visible changes in colour, texture, or smell.

Relevant Information

Xepa Zaricort Cream combines an antifungal and a mild corticosteroid and is intended for short-to-medium term treatment of inflamed fungal skin infections. It is not intended for long-term or continuous use, and the steroid component in particular should not be used beyond the recommended duration. If symptoms persist, worsen, or recur after treatment, consult a pharmacist or doctor for further assessment, as prolonged self-treatment can mask an underlying condition that needs proper diagnosis.
