Naftifast Cream

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Naftifast Cream is an antifungal medicine used for the topical treatment of fungal infections. It kills and stops the growth of fungi on the skin, thereby preventing the growth of fungus and healing the infected area.

Naftifast Cream is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor to get the most benefit. And do not use this medicine in more than the prescribed amount as that can increase its absorption and cause side effects. Thoroughly clean and dry the area that is to be treated; avoid applying this medicine on open wounds or infected skin. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, mouth, or nose, rinse it with cold water.

It is generally a safe medicine to use with no common side effects. However, if you experience any unusual side effects from applying this medicine, let the doctor know. They may be able to help by changing the medicine or reducing its dose.

It is unlikely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way Naftifast Cream works, but let the doctor know in case you are taking any other medicines. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also consult their healthcare professionals before using this combination medicine.
