About Amtris Cream

AMOROLFINE belongs to a class of drugs called 'antifungal' primarily used to treat fungal nail infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.  Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and scaling of the skin.  

AMOROLFINE contains 'Amorolfine' that 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.

Medicinal Benefits of Amtris Cream

AMOROLFINE 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 into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. AMOROLFINE causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thereby, clears fungal infection and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling and itching of the skin caused due to infections. 

Directions for Use

Topically (cream/gel): Wash and dry the infected area of skin. Take a small amount of AMOROLFINE on the finger and gently rub on the clean and dry affected area and surrounding skin. AMOROLFINE is only for external use. Avoid contact of AMOROLFINE with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case AMOROLFINE comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Wash your hands before and after using AMOROLFINE if hands are not the affected area to prevent the spread of infection. Avoid contact of AMOROLFINE with nose, mouth, or eyes. In case AMOROLFINE comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly.  Nail lacquer: File the infected area of nil. Then gently clean the surface of the nail. Take some lacquer from the bottle with the help of the spatula. Apply the medicine over the entire surface of the nail. Again clean the spatula and keep it for reuse.
