Description

AMOROLFINE belongs to a class of drugs called ‘antifungal’ primarily used to treat fungal nail infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and scaling of the skin. 

AMOROLFINE contains ‘Amorolfine’ that works by stopping producing a chemical called ‘ergosterol’ in fungi that causes nail infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, infection-causing fungi die. 

Use AMOROLFINE as suggested by your doctor. Common side effects of AMOROLFINE may include dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of AMOROLFINE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using AMOROLFINE. If you use AMOROLFINE in topical form, avoid smoking or going near naked flames as AMOROLFINE catches fire and burns easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before taking AMOROLFINE to adjust the dose.

Fungal nail infection

Medicinal Benefits

AMOROLFINE is an antifungal that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of nails and skin such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. AMOROLFINE causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thereby, clears fungal infection and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling and itching of the skin caused due to infections. 

Directions for Use

Avoid contact of AMOROLFINE with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case if it comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Cream/Gel/Lotion: Wash and dry the infected area of the skin. Take a small amount on the finger and gently rub it on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. Nail lacquer: File the infected area of the nail. Then gently clean the surface of the nail. Take some lacquer from the bottle with the help of the spatula. Apply the medicine over the entire surface of the nail. Again clean the spatula and keep it for reuse. Spray: Please read the instructions leaflet provided with the pack. Use the spray as suggested by the doctor.
