How Onabet Cream Works

Butenafine is a topical antifungal that inhibits squalene epoxidase, reducing ergosterol synthesis needed for fungal cell membranes. This leads to accumulation of squalene and fungal cell death, relieving itching, redness and scaling.

Dosage & Directions

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer over the infected skin and 1–2 cm around it, usually once daily (or as prescribed). Continue for the full course even if symptoms improve; wash hands after application and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken skin.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
