Types of Prescriptions
Oral and Topical Antibiotics
Oral antibiotics are taken by mouth, while topical antibiotics are applied directly to
the affected area. This type of treatment can help reduce inflammation, pain, and
prevent the infection from spreading. Common foot-related conditions that may require a prescription for oral or topical antibiotics are for bacterial infections that can result from having an opening in the foot.
Topical Agents
A topical agent is a type of medication that is applied directly to the skin or nails. As a chiropodist, I can prescribe topical agents to treat various foot related conditions such as athlete's foot, warts, fungal infections, corns, and calluses. These agents can help reduce inflammation and discomfort in the feet, and improve overall foot health.
Anti-fungal Agents
An anti-fungal agent is a substance that inhibits the growth of fungi and can help treat and prevent a variety of foot-related conditions such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and toenail fungus. I can evaluate your foot-related condition and determine if an anti-fungal agent prescription can be a beneficial treatment.
Anti-inflammatory Medication
Anti-inflammatory medication can help reduce pain and inflammation in the feet. Anti-inflammatory medication is a type of drug that can reduce swelling, stiffness, and other symptoms associated with a variety of foot related conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout.
