GSK Hydrozole
Pros
Cons
This review of GSK Hydrozole assesses the product based on several factors including it’s formulation and the customer service offered by the manufacturer. GSK Hydrozole is a pharmaceutical product for the treatment of athlete’s foot. It contains ingredients that can eliminate the fungal infection that causes they itching and rash associated with athlete’s foot.
What’s in Hydrozole?
- Hydrocortisone – a mild topical anti-inflammatory.
- Clotrimazole – reduces the production of components of the fungal cell membrane, causing leakiness and fungal death.
This product has a dual action that reduces inflammation and eliminates the source of the infection. It is just short of covering the full scope though, because it does not contain any ingredients that nourish the skin and support it’s accelerated healing. This is an important addition to the product because then the product does not have to be used for as long.
These pharmaceutical ingredients can also cause side effects. Both of the ingredients can cause burning and irritation on the skin.
How Do You Use Hydrozole?
Although the manufacturer doesn’t specifically state it, that we suggest that you clean the affected area before applying the ointment. A small quantity of the ointment should be applied to the affected area two to three times a day. The manufacturer advises making sure that the ointment has been absorbed into the skin and is not simply remaining on the surface.
The Cost
The product is available on all major third-party websites. A 1.06 oz tube is available for purchase for around $9.36. This price does not include shipping or taxes. There are a few small discounts here and there and prices vary from retailer to retailer. However, there are no major discounts offered for buying in bulk or subscribing for a regular order.
Is There a Guarantee?
The manufacturer has made their contact information available for the customer should they experience any adverse side effects. But this product is a pharmaceutical so there is no guarantee and the customer will not receive their money back. Although this is to be expected of a pharmaceutical product, it should also be considered that there are products on the market designed to treat athlete’s foot that do offer a guarantee.
The Conclusion of Our GSK Hydrozole Review
We appreciate the dual action of this product and applaud the manufacturer for including an anti-inflammatory, which is not usual for pharmaceutical athlete’s foot products. We also believe that the price of this product is not unreasonable. We do believe that this product is not the best for treating athlete’s foot though because it does not cover all aspects of the treatment and it does not come with a guarantee. Many products that are designed for combating athlete’s foot do come with a guarantee, especially if they are the natural products. These natural products also generally include a number of different ingredients to support the skin’s health from various angles. It is for these reasons that we suggest that customer look at these products too, and decide whether they might be more beneficial for them.
