Zydiwon Cream

Zydiwon 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 on the skin.  Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and scaling of the skin.  

Zydiwon 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.

Zydiwon Cream is usually a safe medicine with no or limited side effects. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin. Most of the side effects of this medication do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your physician.

Avoid using Zydiwon Cream if allergic to it. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medication with proper consultation and caution. Zydiwon Cream is to be used on children below 12 years of age only when advised by the child doctor.

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.

Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and cause infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). Ringworm is a common fungal infection of skin or scalp contagious and causes a rash resembling a worm in a ring shape. Jock itch (also known as tinea cruris) is a fungal infection of the skin that causes an itchy, red rash in warm and moist areas of the body such as the groin, buttocks, and inner thighs. Athlete’s foot (also known as tinea pedis) is a fungal infection that usually starts between the toes, especially in people who have extremely sweaty feet and wear tight-fitting shoes. It occurs most commonly in athletes. It causes itching, burning, or stinging sensation due to a scaly rash. Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin condition that causes an itchy rash with dry, flaky scales on the skin that contains oil glands such as the scalp, face, back, and upper chest.  Fungal infection in nails happens when there is an overgrowth of fungi in, under, or on the nail. Fungal infections usually occur in toenails than fingernails, likely because toes remain under shoes, in a warm, moist environment.
