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