Amorolfine Cream 0.25% w/w is an antifungal medication used for treating fungal nail infections and fungal skin infections. It is applied once daily for 4 weeks on average and works by restricting fungi from creating ergosterol, leading to the breakdown of fungal cells. The cream is safe and effective in treating tinea corporis, with clinical improvement seen in itching, erythema, and scaling. It should be used with caution in pregnancy, breastfeeding, and kidney disease. It should not be given to patients with allergies, diabetes, liver diseases, cataract, glaucoma, adrenal gland problems, or hormonal problems. Prolonged use may cause hormonal suppression, Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria. The cream may interact with respiratory-related medicines, drugs treating HIV/AIDS, and corticosteroids. It is for external use only and should be washed off before breastfeeding the baby if applied to the breasts for treatment.
