About Emrolfin 0.25%W/W Cream 50gm
Emrolfin 0.25%W/W Cream 50gm 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.
Emrolfin 0.25%W/W Cream 50gm 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 Emrolfin 0.25%W/W Cream 50gm as suggested by your doctor. Common side effects of Emrolfin 0.25%W/W Cream 50gm may include dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin.

Key Benefits
Emrolfin 0.25%W/W Cream 50gm 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. Emrolfin 0.25%W/W Cream 50gm 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.
