Mycoseal Cream

Mycoseal Cream is an antifungal medicine containing terbinafine in a cream formulation, supplied as labeled in each tube by Organic Laboratories in a pack of 10 tubes. It is used on the skin to treat fungal infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. Terbinafine belongs to the allylamine antifungal class and works by stopping the growth of fungi that cause itchy, scaly, or red skin. Mycoseal Cream is for external use only and is applied directly to the affected skin.

How it works: Terbinafine blocks an enzyme fungi need to make ergosterol, an important part of their cell membrane. In the cream form, this helps weaken and kill the fungus on the skin where Mycoseal Cream is applied.

Because Mycoseal Cream is a topical cream, it is suited for people who need local treatment on the skin rather than an oral antifungal medicine. Compared with tablet forms, this cream acts at the site of infection with less whole-body exposure, so a doctor may choose it for mild to moderate skin fungal infections or when direct application is preferred. The exact strength is as labeled on each tube, and the prescribed amount and duration depend on the infected area and the type of fungus.

• Athlete’s foot
• Jock itch
• Ringworm
• Superficial fungal skin infections
• Itchy, scaly fungal rash on the body

• Wash and dry the affected skin before applying Mycoseal Cream.
• Apply a thin layer to the affected area and the skin just around it.
• Rub the cream in gently until it disappears.
• Use it only on the skin; do not swallow it or put it in the eyes, mouth, or vagina.
• Wash your hands after applying, unless the hands are the area being treated.
• Use it for the full treatment course your doctor recommends, even if the rash looks better sooner.

Mycoseal Cream provides terbinafine in a labeled topical cream strength in each tube, and the exact amount applied is measured by the size of the skin area, not by tablets or teaspoons. It is commonly used once or twice daily depending on the infection and the prescriber’s instructions, and there is no fixed maximum daily amount for all patients because the doctor decides the length of treatment and how much should be used.

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

Common side effects of Terbinafine may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Itching at the application site
• Redness of the skin
• Dryness or peeling of the treated area
• Temporary irritation after application

• For external use only; do not take Mycoseal Cream by mouth.
• Avoid using it on broken, raw, or heavily inflamed skin unless your doctor tells you to.
• Stop use and contact a clinician if the rash gets worse or does not improve as directed.
• Keep it away from the eyes, nose, and mouth; rinse well if accidental contact occurs.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of allergy to terbinafine or other antifungals.
• Use extra caution if treating large areas of skin or using it for a long time, since irritation may be more likely.
• Do not cover the area with tight dressings unless your prescriber instructs you to do so.

• Other topical antifungal medicines used on the same area
• Harsh skin products such as alcohol-based astringents or medicated soaps on the treated area
• Corticosteroid creams applied at the same site, unless prescribed together by a clinician
• Products that can irritate the skin, such as scrubs, acids, or peroxide-based treatments

Store Mycoseal Cream at room temperature, keep the tubes tightly closed, and protect them from excess heat and moisture.
