Nixiclin-XL 0.25% Cream 50 gm is used to treat fungal nail infections. It contains Amorolfine, which works by stopping the production of a chemical called ergosterol in fungi that causes nail infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, it kills infection-causing fungi. It may cause common side effects such as dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
