About Fytofin Solution

Fytofin Solution is an antifungal medicine that is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as 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).

Fytofin Solution contains Terbinafine, an antifungal that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes, which are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.

Fytofin Solution is only for external use. Use Fytofin Solution as advised by the doctor. Avoid contact of Fytofin Solution with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case Fytofin Solution comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Some people may experience side effects like itching, irritation, or skin peeling. Most of these side effects of Fytofin Solution do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Fytofin Solution 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 Fytofin Solution. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Fytofin Solution catches fire and burns easily, which is a serious fire hazard. If you have psoriasis, inform your doctor before using Fytofin Solution.
