About Onabet SD Solution

Onabet SD Solution is used to treat skin infections caused by fungi. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. The symptoms of a fungal infection include scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation and redness. 
 
Onabet SD Solution contains Sertaconazole (anti-fungal) and Mometasone (corticosteroid). Sertaconazole works by preventing the formation of fungal protective covering, thereby stopping their growth.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as a burning sensation, irritation, itching and redness at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

While Onabet SD Solution can be used on various parts of the body, such as the skin and nails, it's generally not recommended for use on the face, particularly near the eyes due to the risk of glaucoma or cataracts. Additionally, it's best to avoid applying it to sensitive areas like the face, neck, or skin folds, as this can increase the risk of skin thinning or other adverse effects. However, if your doctor has specifically prescribed it for a facial fungal infection, be sure to follow their instructions carefully and take necessary precautions to avoid any potential side effects.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Children can use Onabet SD Solution, but with caution and under medical supervision. Children under 12 years old should not use it unless advised by a doctor. Children between 12 and 18 years old can use it only under strict medical supervision and for a limited period. This is because children's skin may be more sensitive to the effects of corticosteroids like Mometasone.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use Onabet SD Solution with caution and only under medical supervision. The safety of this medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established, and it's essential to weigh the benefits against the potential risks.
