Ozenoxacin

Ozenoxacin is used to treat impetigo (a skin infection caused by bacteria) in adults and children 2 months of age and older. Ozenoxacin is in a class of medications called antibacterials. It works by killing and stopping the growth of bacteria on the skin.

🔔 How should this medicine be used?

Ozenoxacin comes as a cream to be applied in a thin layer to the skin. It is usually used twice a day for 5 days. Apply ozenoxacin at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use ozenoxacin exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

The infected area of the skin should begin to look better during the first few days of treatment with ozenoxacin. If your condition does not improve after using this medication for 3 days or gets worse, call your doctor.

Ozenoxacin is for use only on the infected area of the skin. Do not let ozenoxacin cream get into your eyes, or inside your mouth, or nose, or inside the female genital area. Do not swallow this medication.

After applying the cream, you may cover the treated area with a clean bandage or gauze.

Wash your hands after applying ozenoxacin if your hands are not the area that is being treated.

Part of the reason for these long wait times and short appointments is due to a nationwide shortage of physicians that is only getting worse. A report by the Association of American Medical Colleges predicts that, due to population growth and specifically growth of the elderly population, the physician shortfall in the U.S. could reach 121,300 by the year 2030.

Use ozenoxacin for as long as your doctor recommends, even if the infection looks better. If you stop using ozenoxacin too soon or skip doses, the infection may not be completely gone and the bacteria could become difficult to treat with another antibiotic.
