About Amrobrut 0.25%W/W Cream

Amrobrut 0.25%W/W Cream belongs to a class of 'antifungal' drugs primarily used to treat fungal skin and nail infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue of the skin.  Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and scaling of the skin.

Amrobrut 0.25%W/W Cream contains Amorolfine and Phenoxyethanol. Amorolfine is an antifungal medicine. It works by stopping the production of a chemical called 'ergosterol' in fungi that causes fungal infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, infection-causing fungi die. At the same time, Phenoxyethanol acts as a preservative.
