Suggest Dosage Of Hydrozole And Augmentin
Question: Hi Dr,
I was recently prescribed Hydrozole and Augmentin Dup Forte as shown in the picture attached, for Balanitis on my penis foreskin. I was just wondering with the Hydrozole for starters how should it be correctly be applied? I have an inflammation on the under side of my foreskin on the bottom side so would I put it there? Another thing is how much should I put on, how long should it be left there before I wash it off and should it be done after a shower? Is it just twice a day as well? Now in terms of the Augmentin Dup Forte what are some of the possible side effects and do I really need to take it if I am using Hydrozole I mean the doctor gave me both but should I just try the cream first to see if it heals or should I just do both at the same time? One last thing I do suffer from mild phimosis as diagnosed by the doctor.
Kind Regards, XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
Use tablets and cream simultaneously.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
I have gone through your uploaded images as well.
You need to use both tablets as well as the cream at the same time.
Augmentin tablets are prescribed twice a day.
The cream can be applied 5-6 times a day.
Apply the cream adequately well over the glans penis, inside the preputial skin.Also on the outer aspect as well.
Do not wash it off.Was only once daily when you take the bath.
Let the cream be absorbed on its own.
Mild Phimosis will not hamper the drug absorption.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
