About Tinapax Cream

Tinapax Cream 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).

Tinapax Cream 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.

Tinapax Cream is only for external use. Use Tinapax Cream as advised by the doctor. Avoid contact of Tinapax Cream with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case Tinapax Cream 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 Tinapax Cream 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 Tinapax 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 Tinapax Cream. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the fabric (bedding, clothing, dressings) that is in contact with Tinapax Cream catches fire and burns easily, which is a serious fire hazard. If you have psoriasis, inform your doctor before using Tinapax Cream.

Description

Tinapax cream is an effective antifungal medication formulated to treat various fungal skin infections. The primary ingredient, terbinafine hydrochloride, uniquely functions as an antifungal agent to help control these infections. This Terbinafine Hydrochloride Cream acts on the fungal cell membrane, disrupting its normal operations. It specifically targets and blocks ergosterol production within the cell - a chemical vital for the fungus's survival. As a result, this Terbinafine HCl Cream prevents fungal cells from multiplying, curbing the spread of infection.

It has proven effective in treating superficial dermatophyte infections like onychomycosis, tinea pedis, tinea corporis, and tinea cruris. Notably, it achieves mycological cure in over 80% of patients. This Terbinafine Hydrochloride Cream also treats conditions like cutaneous candidiasis and pityriasis versicolor, showcasing high rates of both mycological and clinical cure. Compared to other antifungal treatments, Tinapax cream shows a better tolerability profile and lower relapse rate of infections, making it a reliable choice for managing fungal skin infections.
