Medicinal Benefits:
Livafin Cream is an antifungal that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of nails and skin such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival, as they prevent unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Livafin Cream causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Therefore, it clears fungal infections and provides relief from the symptoms of cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused by these infections.
Livafin Cream is used to treat fungal nail and skin infections.
Livafin Cream contains Amorolfine, which works by stopping producing a chemical called ergosterol in fungi that causes nail infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, infection-causing fungi die.
You are required to maintain a three-hour gap after applying Livafin Cream if you are using more than one topical medication.
You should use Livafin Cream as prescribed. Your doctor will recommend the dose and duration based on the type of fungal infection. It is usually applied once a week to the affected finger or toenails. Sometimes, your doctor may ask you to use it twice a week.
No, do not apply Livafin Cream on other parts of the body like the oral cavity, eyes or intravaginally. It should only be restricted to nails and skin. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.
Livafin Cream should not be used in children unless advised by a doctor.
What should I do if I forget to use Livafin Cream?
Livafin Cream may cause skin redness as a common side effect. However, if the condition persists or worsens, consult your doctor.
