AF -C Dusting Powder

AF -C Dusting Powder is a topical antifungal powder containing clotrimazole as labelled in each bottle. It belongs to the imidazole antifungal class and is used on the skin to help treat fungal infections, especially in warm, moist areas where moisture and friction can make symptoms worse. AF -C Dusting Powder is designed for external use only and may help relieve itching, redness, burning, and discomfort caused by tinea and other susceptible fungal skin infections.

How it works: Clotrimazole works by damaging the fungal cell membrane, which stops the fungus from growing and surviving. In AF -C Dusting Powder, the powder base also helps absorb moisture, creating a drier skin environment that makes it harder for fungi to spread.

This AF -C Dusting Powder strength is formulated as a drying powder rather than a tablet or oral form, so it is suited to areas that stay sweaty or rub against clothing. Compared with AF 50 Tablet DT, AF 200 Tablet, AF 300 Tablet, and AF 400 Tablet, this powder works locally on the skin and is chosen when a doctor wants antifungal treatment with a dry, non-greasy feel instead of an oral dose.

• Athlete’s foot
• Jock itch
• Ringworm of the body
• Intertrigo in skin folds
• Moist, sweaty areas prone to fungal growth

• Use AF -C Dusting Powder only on clean, dry skin.
• Apply a thin layer to the affected area as directed by your doctor.
• Do not inhale the powder or apply it to the eyes, mouth, nose, or genitals unless your prescriber specifically told you to.
• Wash your hands before and after applying unless the hands are the treated area.
• Keep the area dry; change sweaty clothes and socks regularly.
• Use it for the full treatment course even if itching improves sooner.

Each bottle of AF -C Dusting Powder contains clotrimazole as labelled, and the amount used at one time depends on the size of the skin area being treated rather than a fixed swallowed dose. It is typically applied once or twice daily, but the exact frequency and duration are decided by the doctor based on the infection and location. Do not use more often than prescribed, because using extra powder will not make it work faster.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
