Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Fungout Cream is used in the treatment of Fungal nail and skin infections. The detailed uses of Fungout Cream are as follows:

  • Manages athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis): Fungout Cream treats fungal infections between toes.
  • Addresses cutaneous candidiasis: Fungout Cream helps with yeast infections on the skin.
  • Treats Pityriasis versicolor: Fungout Cream reduces discoloured patches caused by fungal overgrowth.

Medicinal Benefits

Fungout Cream 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 from entering the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Fungout Cream causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Therefore, it clears fungal infections and provides relief from the symptoms of skin irritation, including cracking, burning, scaling, and itching, caused by these infections.
