Butop 15 g Cream

Butop 15 g Cream is a topical antifungal medicine that contains butenafine in a 15 g tube of cream. It is used on the skin to treat certain fungal infections, especially athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. Butop 15 g Cream works locally on the affected area and is intended for external use only. Because it is a cream, it can be easier to spread over irritated or scaly skin than some other topical forms.

How it works: Butenafine stops fungi from making a key part of their cell membrane, which weakens and kills the fungus. As a cream, Butop 15 g Cream delivers the medicine directly to the skin where the infection is growing.

This Butop 15 g Cream pack provides 15 g of cream per tube, which is a small, targeted amount suited to treating one limited area as directed by a clinician. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this product, the main difference is simply the tube size and how long one tube may last depending on the size of the rash and the treatment plan. Your doctor chooses the amount and duration based on the infection and the area being treated.

• Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
• Jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Other superficial fungal skin infections as prescribed

• Use Butop 15 g Cream only on the skin, not in the eyes, mouth, or vagina.
• Wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of cream.
• Apply exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once daily for the prescribed number of days.
• Rub the cream in gently and wash your hands afterward unless your hands are being treated.
• Do not cover the area with tight bandages unless your clinician tells you to.
• Keep using the cream for the full prescribed course even if the rash looks better early.

Each tube of Butop 15 g Cream contains 15 g of butenafine cream, so the dose is measured by how much you apply to the infected skin rather than by swallowing tablets. The usual application frequency and total amount per day are set by your doctor; for this strength, there is no standard self-selected maximum because treatment depends on the size of the area and the diagnosis. Use only the amount prescribed and do not apply extra cream to make it work faster.

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

Common side effects of Butenafine may include:

• Mild burning or stinging at the application site
• Itching
• Redness
• Dry skin
• Irritation or rash where applied
• Peeling or tenderness of the treated skin

• For external use only; do not apply to broken, deeply cracked, or oozing skin unless your doctor says to.
• Avoid getting the cream in your eyes, nose, mouth, or genital mucosa.
• Tell your doctor if you have sensitive skin, eczema, or a history of allergy to antifungal creams.
• Do not use it longer than prescribed if the infection is not improving, since the diagnosis may need to be checked.
• If the rash is on the face, scalp, nails, or covers a large body area, ask a clinician before use.
• Use caution if the skin is very inflamed, because stinging can be more noticeable when the cream is first applied.

• Other topical antifungal creams or powders on the same area
• Topical corticosteroids applied to the same rash unless prescribed together
• Medicated soaps, astringents, or irritating skin products on the treated area
• Occlusive dressings or tight coverings that may increase irritation
