Covarex Cream is a topical antifungal used to treat various skin fungal infections. Like most antifungal creams, it has a generally favorable safety profile, but side effects can occur.
Common side effects include:
- Mild skin irritation
- Temporary redness
- Localized itching
- Burning or stinging sensation at the application site[1][5][7]
These side effects are typically mild and resolve on their own. However, if symptoms worsen or become persistent, stop using the cream and seek medical advice[1].
Serious or rare side effects may include:
- Blisters or peeling skin
- Swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue, or throat
- Persistent burning lasting more than 48 hours
- Hives or skin cracks
- Difficulty breathing, trouble swallowing, or throat tightness (signs of an allergic reaction)
If you experience any of these serious symptoms, stop using Covarex Cream and seek urgent medical attention[1][2][5][7].
Precautions:
- Finish the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve
- Consult a healthcare provider before using with other medications
- Do not use occlusive (tight or waterproof) dressings over treated areas when treating Candida, as this may worsen the infection
- Use with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult your doctor before use in these cases
Always apply to clean, dry skin as instructed, and do not wrap the area tightly[1].
