Uses

Treatment of Fungal nail infections

Benefits

In Fungal skin infection: Livafin 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: Livafin 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: Livafin clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
In Dandruff: Livafin controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
In Nail fungal infection: Livafin, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.

Side effects

Most side effects of Livafin 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.

How to use

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.

How it works

Livafin 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.

Safety advice

AlcoholSAFE: No significant interaction with alcohol is expected.
PregnancyCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this in pregnancy.
Breast feedingCONSULT YOUR DOCTOR: Consult your doctor before using this while breastfeeding.
DrivingSAFE: Not expected to affect your ability to drive.
KidneySAFE: No dose change is usually needed in kidney disease.

Warnings & 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.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Livafin 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.

Quick tips

Avoid getting it in your eyes, ears, nose, or mouth.
If this happens, rinse with water immediately.
Avoid the use of nail varnishes and artificial nails.
Do not share your nail-filer to prevent the spread of infection.
Consult your doctor before using if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Keep using Livafin Cream for 3 to 5 days after the symptoms of the infection have cleared up to prevent it from coming back.
