Uses of Amfocin Cream 0.25%
Treatment of Fungal nail infections
Benefits of Amfocin Cream 0.25%
- In Fungal skin infection
- Amfocin kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
- In Ringworm
- Amfocin clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
- In Athlete's foot
- Amfocin clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
- In Dandruff
- Amfocin controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
- In Nail fungal infection
- Amfocin, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.
How Amfocin Cream 0.25% works
Amfocin Cream belongs to a class of anti-fungal medications. It inhibits the enzymes that are essential for fungal growth, thereby killing a wide variety of sensitive fungi.
How to take Amfocin Cream 0.25%
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Amfocin Cream, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Amfocin Cream 0.25%
Most side effects of Amfocin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Burning or stinging
- Redness
- Itching
- Dryness
- Peeling
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions
Keep applying for the full period your doctor stated, usually two to four weeks, and for a week or two after the rash has cleared. Stopping when it looks better is why ringworm keeps coming back. Apply a little beyond the visible edge of the patch — the fungus extends further than the redness. Do not use a combination cream containing a steroid on a fungal infection unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it. The steroid calms the redness while the fungus spreads underneath. See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, involves the scalp or nails, or has not improved in two weeks — these usually need tablets as well.
Do not take Amfocin if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. For external use only. Not for use in the eyes.
Interactions with other medicines
No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin.
