Description:

Fonafirst Cream is an antifungal medication. It is used in the treatment of fungal skin infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, nappy rash, sweat rash, and vaginal thrush. It kills fungi by destroying the fungal cell membrane.

Fonafirst Cream is for external use only. You should use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. The affected area should be clean and dry before application of the medicine. Do not use more than you need as it will not clear your condition faster and some side effects may be increased. If your condition goes on for longer than four weeks or gets worse at any time, let your doctor know. The effects of the medicine can be increased by keeping the affected area clean and dry, and washing hands before and after treating the infection. If you have athlete’s foot, wash your socks or tights thoroughly and change your shoes daily if possible.

Some of the common side effects include skin irritation, redness, or itching at the site of application. If the side effects bother you or do not go away, let your doctor know. Some people have a severe allergic reaction which needs urgent medical attention. Signs of this include rash, swelling of the lips, throat or face, swallowing or breathing problems, dizziness and nausea. Get emergency help if this happens.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed during pregnancy.

FAQs:

How to use Fonafirst Cream?

Earlier using Fonafirst Cream, clean and dry the affected area. Gently and thoroughly massage it into the skin. Be careful not to get the medication in your eyes or mouth. Employ Fonafirst Cream once daily, preferably at night before going to bed, for two to three weeks or as advised by your doctor. If Fonafirst Cream gets in your eyes accidentally, wash with plenty of water and call your doctor if your eyes are irritated.

For how long do I need to use Fonafirst Cream?

Symptoms generally get reduced or get completely cured within 2 to 4 weeks. Employ Fonafirst Cream until the symptoms get cured and then for two more weeks after symptoms disappear to avoid recurrence of the infection.

What measures should be taken for a fast recovery?

Retain the affected skin areas clean and dry but avoid excessive rubbing. The itchiness may give you an urge to scratch but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of the skin, spreading the infection further. Forever wash your hands after treating the infection to prevent it from spreading. Wash your socks, stockings, and tights thoroughly in hot water to remove any shed skin or fungal spores. Alter your footwear daily, if possible.

Therefore, you should ensure that Fonafirst Cream cream does not come in contact with these products. If Fonafirst Cream cream accidentally comes into contact with a condom or diaphragm, replace the condom or diaphragm before using it as contraception.

Can warfarin be used while using Fonafirst Cream?

Which fungi does Fonafirst Cream treat?

Can I stop using Fonafirst Cream when I feel better?
