Uses of Fungisdin in details

Fungisdin is used to treat skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, and other fungal skin infections (candidiasis). This medication is also used to treat a skin condition known as pityriasis (tinea versicolor), a fungal infection that causes a lightening or darkening of the skin of the neck, chest, arms, or legs. Fungisdin is an azole antifungal that works by preventing the growth of fungus.

How to use Fungisdin topical

Use this medication on the skin only. Clean and thoroughly dry the area to be treated. Apply this medication to the affected skin, usually twice a day or as directed by your doctor. If you are using the spray form, shake the bottle well before applying. Dosage and length of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated. Do not apply this more often than prescribed. Your condition will not clear faster, but side effects may be increased.

Apply enough medication to cover the affected area and some of the surrounding skin. After applying this medication, wash your hands. Do not wrap, cover or bandage the area unless directed to do so by your doctor.

Do not apply this medication in the eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina.

Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same times each day.

Continue to use this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after starting Fungisdin. Stopping the medication too early may allow the fungus to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.

Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

Fungisdin description

Fungisdin is an antifungal medication of the Imidazole class used to treat infections caused by a fungus or yeast. Fungisdin topical (skin) preparations are also available for ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot, and tinea versicolor or "sun fungus". Fungisdin interacts with 14-± demethylase, a cytochrome P-450 enzyme that converts lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of the yeast membrane. In this way, tioconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis, resulting in increased cellular permeability.

Fungisdin dosage

Fungisdin Dosage

Generic name: Fungisdin 50mg

Dosage form: buccal tablet

The information at Drugs.com is not a substitute for medical advice. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Basic Dosing Information

The recommended dosing schedule for Fungisdin is the application of one 50 mg buccal tablet to the upper gum region (canine fossa) once daily for 14 consecutive days.

Administration Instructions

Fungisdin should be applied in the morning, after brushing the teeth. The tablet should be applied with dry hands. The rounded side surface of the tablet should be placed against the upper gum just above the incisor tooth (canine fossa) and held in place with slight pressure over the upper lip for 30 seconds to ensure adhesion. The tablet is round on one side for comfort, but either side of the tablet can be applied to the gum.

Once applied, Fungisdin stays in position and gradually dissolves. [ See Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)] Subsequent applications of Fungisdin should be made to alternate sides of the mouth. Before applying the next tablet, the patient should clear away any remaining tablet material. In addition,

• Fungisdin should not be crushed, chewed or swallowed.
• Food and drink can be taken normally when Fungisdin is in place but chewing gum should be avoided.
• If Fungisdin does not adhere or falls off within the first 6 hours, the same tablet should be repositioned immediately. If the tablet still does not adhere, a new tablet should be placed.
• If Fungisdin is swallowed within the first 6 hours, the patient should drink a glass of water and a new tablet should be applied only once.
• If Fungisdin falls off or is swallowed after it was in place for 6 hours or more, a new tablet should not be applied until the next regularly scheduled dose..
