Ninaf Cream
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Ninaf Cream is an antifungal medicine used to treat skin infections caused by fungi. It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi on the skin, thereby helping to clear up the infection and reduce symptoms such as itching, redness, and scaling.
Use Ninaf Cream in the exact dose and duration as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually applied once or twice a day to the affected area. It is important to continue using it for the full duration of the prescribed treatment, even if symptoms improve earlier. Before applying, clean and dry the affected area thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of the cream and gently rub it into the skin. Avoid covering the treated area with bandages or dressings unless advised by your doctor, as this could prevent the cream from being properly absorbed.
The most common side effects of Ninaf Cream include mild irritation, burning, or redness at the application site. These side effects are usually temporary and tend to resolve as your body adjusts to the treatment. If the irritation persists or worsens, let your doctor know. To minimize side effects, avoid applying the cream to broken or irritated skin.
Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth, as the cream is for external use only. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not use the medicine if you are allergic to naftifine or any of its ingredients. If you notice symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as severe rash, itching, or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking or any underlying health conditions you have.

Quick tips
- Apply Ninaf Cream as soon as you notice the first signs of a fungal infection. Early treatment can prevent the infection from spreading and help you recover more quickly.
- Always clean and thoroughly dry the affected area before applying the cream. Fungi thrive in moist environments, so keeping the area dry is crucial for effective treatment.
- Unless advised by your doctor, do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing.
- After applying the cream, wash your hands to prevent spreading the infection to other parts of your body or to other people.
- If the infection is in an area covered by clothing, choose loose, breathable fabrics. This helps keep the area dry and reduces irritation.
- To prevent reinfection, maintain good hygiene by regularly washing the affected areas and changing socks or underwear daily. Disinfect or replace items like shoes or towels that may harbor fungi.
- Do not share towels, clothing, or other personal items while treating a fungal infection. This helps prevent spreading the infection to others.
