Nuforce Dusting Powder

Nuforce Dusting Powder is an antifungal powder containing clotrimazole as labelled in each bottle. It belongs to the azole antifungal class and is used to help treat fungal skin infections where moisture, friction, and sweating can make symptoms worse. Nuforce Dusting Powder is made by Mankind Pharma, India, and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 bottles. It is commonly used for areas such as the feet, groin, and skin folds when a drying powder format is preferred.

How it works: Clotrimazole stops fungi from making a substance they need to build a healthy cell membrane, which weakens and kills the fungus. In powder form, Nuforce Dusting Powder also helps absorb moisture on the skin, making it harder for fungus to grow in damp areas.

Nuforce Dusting Powder is a topical powder form, so it is different from the oral Nuforce 150 Tablet. The powder is usually chosen when a doctor wants clotrimazole to stay on the skin surface and help keep the area dry, which can be useful in warm, sweaty, or irritated areas. Because it is a local skin treatment, it acts at the application site rather than working through the whole body like the tablet.

• Athlete’s foot
• Jock itch
• Ringworm
• Fungal rash in skin folds
• Moist, sweaty skin areas prone to fungal overgrowth

• Use Nuforce Dusting Powder only on the skin as directed by your doctor or the product label.
• Clean and dry the affected area well before applying the powder.
• Apply a thin, even layer to the affected skin and the nearby area if instructed.
• Wash your hands before and after use unless the hands are the treated area.
• Avoid inhaling the powder and do not apply it to the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose.
• Use it regularly for the full prescribed course, even if the skin looks better sooner.

The labeled dose for Nuforce Dusting Powder is the amount contained in each bottle, but the actual amount used at one time depends on the size of the treated area and your doctor’s instructions. It is usually applied once or twice daily, but your prescriber may recommend a different schedule based on the infection and skin condition. There is no tablet-style maximum daily dose for this powder; the key is to use only the amount needed on the skin and not more than directed.

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

Common side effects of Clotrimazole may include:

• Mild skin irritation
• Burning or stinging sensation
• Itching
• Redness
• Dryness or peeling
• Rash at the application site

• For external use only; do not swallow Nuforce Dusting Powder.
• Do not use on broken, raw, or severely irritated skin unless a clinician specifically tells you to.
• Avoid getting the powder in the eyes, mouth, or genital mucosa.
• Stop use and seek medical advice if irritation becomes severe or the rash worsens.
• Tell your doctor if you have frequent fungal infections, diabetes, or immune problems.
• Do not cover the area with airtight dressings unless your doctor advises it.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a clinician before use, especially on large skin areas.

• Other topical antifungal or medicated skin products applied to the same area may increase irritation.
• Steroid creams used on the same rash can mask symptoms and should only be combined if prescribed.
• Occlusive bandages or tight clothing can trap moisture and reduce the benefit of the powder.
• If using multiple skin products, apply them only as directed to avoid mixing or over-drying the skin.

Store Nuforce Dusting Powder tightly closed at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct light, and keep it out of reach of children.
