Noxa Cream is applied topically.

Noxa Cream contains ozenoxacin (1 % w/v), which operates in the body as follows:

• Inhibition of DNA Replication Enzymes: Ozenoxacin works by blocking two crucial enzymes - DNA gyrase A and topoisomerase IV, which play a significant role in bacterial DNA replication.

• Prevention of Bacterial Multiplication: By inhibiting these enzymes, ozenoxacin effectively stops the bacteria from multiplying further, thus assisting in controlling and eliminating the infection.

• This dual-targeting activity makes ozenoxacin an effective agent against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, helping manage impetigo effectively.

1. Store Noxa Cream at a temperature between 15°C and 30°C.

2. Keep it away from excessive light and moisture.

3. Always ensure that the tube is tightly closed when not in use.

4. It's crucial to keep this cream out of the reach of children.

5. Use Noxa Cream before the expiry date printed on the package.

• If you're using Noxa Cream to manage impetigo, maintain a high level of personal hygiene. Regularly washing hands with soap can help prevent the infection from spreading.
