FAQs

Fintop Cream comprises Butenafine, which works by destroying the fungus that causes the infection. Fintop Cream damages the fungal cell membrane and causes the components to leak out, thus killing the fungus and curing the infection.

Do not stop applying Fintop Cream even if the infection is reduced. Try to complete the full treatment course even if you feel better, as the infection can reoccur by abrupt stopping.

You are recommended not to use any other topical products with Fintop Cream unless recommended by the doctor.

Do not apply the Butenafine cream on wounds, injuries, or irritated skin.

Unless directed by a doctor, do not use Fintop Cream for more than four weeks. The fungus may become resistant to Fintop Cream if used for prolonged durations.

Side effects of Fintop Cream 15 gm
  • Burning sensation is an abnormal side effect that needs medical attention. To relieve the burning feeling, your doctor may prescribe painkillers or antidepressants.
  • Focused exercises can improve strength and reduce burning by soothing muscles.
  • Change in lifestyle and improving nutrition can reduce the causes of burning sensation and provide relief.
  • Your doctor may suggest nerve block injections as it is related to sensation in the skin.
  • Burning feeling in a specific area would need mild electrical currents to reduce pain that targets the nerve affected. This practice must be done only if your doctor mentions it.

  • Avoid postures that put much pressure on the body area where stinging is felt.
