Eberconazole cream tinea corporis treatment India
This is an OPD consultation slip from NIMS Hospital, Jaipur (Skin & V.D. Department), dated 19-08-2026, for Mr. Vishal, 23y/M, OPD No. 67, Unit III.
Chief complaint: Extensive (Ext.) Tinea corporis - a fungal skin infection commonly known as ringworm.
Prescription (Rx):
| # | Medicine | Instruction |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cap Itraconazole 100 mg | 1 capsule once daily (OD) |
| 2 | Tab Levocetirizine | 1 tablet at night (antihistamine for itching) |
| 3 | "K2" (Ketoconazole-based antifungal) soap | to wash with daily |
| 4 | Eberconazole cream | apply to the affected area |
Follow-up: Review after 3 weeks (R/A 3 weekly)
What this means clinically
- Itraconazole is an oral triazole antifungal, a standard first-line systemic treatment for extensive/widespread tinea corporis when the infection is too large or resistant for topical therapy alone. A common regimen from dermatology references is 100 mg/day for 2-4 weeks, though some protocols use 100 mg twice daily for shorter courses (Fitzpatrick's Dermatology).
- Levocetirizine is added to control itching (pruritus) associated with the fungal rash.
- Antifungal (ketoconazole-type) soap reduces fungal load on the skin surface and helps prevent spread/recurrence with daily washing.
- Eberconazole cream is a topical imidazole antifungal; Indian clinical studies confirm eberconazole 1% cream is effective and well-tolerated for tinea corporis/cruris, often used twice daily on the lesion as an adjunct to oral therapy.
This combination (oral azole + topical azole + antihistamine + antifungal soap) is a fairly standard approach for extensive or recurrent tinea corporis in Indian dermatology practice.
A few handwriting details (e.g., exact frequency for the cream/soap, and a couple of abbreviated notes near "History of past illness") aren't fully legible in the image - if you need exact dosing frequency confirmed, it would be safest to double check directly with the prescribing dermatologist or the pharmacist filling this slip, since I'm reading it from a photo rather than verifying with the physician.

The prescription itself was written using generic (chemical) names, not brand names — that's standard practice at most Indian teaching hospitals like NIMS. The pharmacist dispensing it chooses which brand to give you, so I can't tell you the exact brand from the slip alone, but here are the most common Indian market brands for each generic drug prescribed:
| Generic (as written on slip) | Common Indian Brand Names |
|---|---|
| Cap Itraconazole 100 mg | Candid-Itra, Itraspan, Sporanox (Janssen, original brand), Itrasys, Canditral |
| Tab Levocetirizine | Levocet (Cipla), Xyzal, Vozet, Lecope, Levorid |
| "K2" antifungal soap for daily wash | Likely a Ketoconazole 2% + Zinc Pyrithione soap, commonly sold as KZ Soap, Ketostar Soap, or Nizral Soap |
| Eberconazole cream | Ebernet (most common, ~₹300-345 for 30-60g), also Ebzoderm, Ebrizole |
A few caveats:
- "Sporanox" is the original innovator brand for itraconazole; in India, generics like Candid-Itra or Itraspan are far more commonly dispensed and are bioequivalent.
- The "K2" soap reading is my best interpretation of the handwriting (Ketoconazole-based medicated soap for daily wash) — worth confirming the exact brand with the hospital pharmacy since a few options exist.
- Since this is dispensed by prescription, it's best to buy the exact brand your pharmacist recommends or ask them to match the generic/salt composition above — the salt (active ingredient) matters more than the brand.
