I Am A Male, Age 75, And Have Taken 300MG
Question: I am a male, age 75, and have taken 300MG of Invokana daily for a few years. Over the past year or so I have developed extreme itching in my crotch - pretty much at the junction of my scrotum & the inside of my upper leg. I end up scratching it raw. Tried taking Benedryl and using Neosporin but they don't help. Suggestions?
Brief Answer:
Miconazole ream
Detailed Answer:
HI,
Thanks for your query.
Invokana causes glycosuria - glucose in urine. This can lead to recurrent genital fugal infections. The foreskin of the penis is the most affected part, but sometimes the fungal infection can spread around.
I suggest you to use Miconazole cream , applied twice daily . This acts better ad helps you get rid of the problem.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Miconazole ream
