About Defungin Cream
Defungin Cream is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin like ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).
Defungin Cream contains Luliconazole, which works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes, as it prevents the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Thus, it kills fungi and clears the infection.
Some people may experience redness, swelling, irritation, or a burning sensation in the skin at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Defungin Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Defungin Cream is only for external use. Take a small amount of Defungin Cream on the finger and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of Defungin Cream with nose, mouth, eyes, or vagina. It is advised not to use more than the recommended dose.
If you are allergic to Defungin Cream or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Defungin Cream. Defungin Cream is not recommended for children below 12 years without doctor's prescription.
