Fintop 1% Cream

Fintop 1% Cream is a topical antifungal medicine that contains butenafine 1% in each tube. It belongs to the allylamine class of antifungals and is used on the skin to treat common fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. Fintop 1% Cream is applied directly to the affected area, where it helps stop the fungus from growing and spread. This pack contains 10 tubes from Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, India.

How it works: Butenafine works by blocking a key step fungi need to build their cell membranes, which weakens and kills the fungus. In cream form, Fintop 1% Cream delivers the medicine right to the infected skin so it can start acting where the rash is located.

Fintop 1% Cream is the standard skin-strength butenafine product, so it is designed for people who need a topical antifungal rather than a lower or higher strength option. Because it is a 1% cream, it is meant for direct application to the skin and is typically chosen when a doctor wants a non-greasy antifungal that spreads easily over the affected area.

• Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis)
• Jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Superficial skin fungal infections caused by dermatophytes

• Clean and dry the affected skin before applying Fintop 1% Cream.
• Apply a thin layer to the rash and a small area of surrounding skin.
• Rub in gently until the cream disappears.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless your hands are the treated area.
• Use it exactly as prescribed by your doctor; do not use more often than directed.
• Keep using it for the full course even if symptoms improve sooner.

Each application of Fintop 1% Cream delivers butenafine 1% to the skin, so this is a prescription-strength topical antifungal rather than a pill or oral dose. How often to apply it and for how many days depends on the infection being treated and your doctor’s instructions; do not exceed the prescribed amount or frequency. Because it is a topical cream, there is no fixed maximum daily oral dose, but using more than directed will not 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 where applied
• Itching at the application site
• Redness of the skin
• Dryness or peeling of the treated area
• Irritation or soreness of the skin

• Use Fintop 1% Cream only on the skin; do not put it in the eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina.
• Do not use on broken, severely irritated, or infected skin unless your doctor tells you to.
• Tell your doctor if you have had an allergy to butenafine or other antifungal creams.
• Do not cover the treated area with airtight bandages unless instructed by a clinician.
• Use caution in children unless a doctor specifically recommends it.
• If the rash is not improving after the prescribed course, contact your doctor for reassessment.
• Avoid sharing towels, clothing, or footwear that may spread fungal infection to others.

• Other topical products used on the same area, especially steroid creams
• Other antifungal creams or sprays on the same skin area unless prescribed together
• Harsh soaps, alcohol-based cleansers, or astringents that can irritate the treated skin
• Occlusive dressings or skin products that trap moisture over the cream

Store Fintop 1% Cream at room temperature, keep the tube tightly closed, and protect it from excess heat and moisture.
