About Vivofine Cream
Vivofine Cream 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.
Vivofine Cream 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 Vivofine Cream as suggested by your doctor. Common side effects of Vivofine Cream may include dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Vivofine Cream do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to consult a doctor before using Vivofine Cream. If you use Vivofine Cream in topical form, avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Vivofine Cream catches fire and burns easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before taking Vivofine Cream to adjust the dose.

Directions for Use
Key Benefits
Vivofine 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. Vivofine 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.
