Composition

Contraindication

Method of application

Naftifine cream should be applied to the affected skin surface and adjacent areas once a day after it has been thoroughly cleaned and dried, capturing approximately 1 cm of healthy skin around the edges of the affected area.

Duration of treatment:

For fungal nail diseases, the drug is recommended to be used 2 times a day. Before the first use, it is necessary to remove as much of the affected part of the nail as possible with scissors or a nail file (to facilitate this procedure, on the recommendation of a doctor, the nails can be treated with a special softening agent).

To prevent relapse, treatment should be continued for at least 2 weeks after the main symptoms of the disease have disappeared.

Application features

Pregnant women

The drug can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if necessary after a careful assessment of the benefit/risk ratio, which is determined by the doctor.

Breastfeeding women should avoid contact with the skin and digestive tract of the baby.

Children

There is insufficient data on the efficacy and safety of the drug in children, so it is not recommended to prescribe it to patients in this age category.

Drivers

The drug does not affect the reaction speed when driving vehicles or other mechanisms.

Overdose

Systemic intoxication with external use of the drug is unlikely, since a small amount of the active substance is absorbed through the skin.
