Canrolfin Cream 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.
Canrolfin Cream 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 Canrolfin Cream as suggested by your doctor. Common side effects of Canrolfin Cream may include dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Canrolfin 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 pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Canrolfin Cream. If you use Canrolfin Cream in topical form, avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Canrolfin Cream catches fire and burns easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before taking Canrolfin Cream to adjust the dose.
