Amorogel Max Cream

Amorogel Max Cream belongs to a class of drugs called 'antifungal' primarily used to treat fungal nail infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.  Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and scaling of the skin.  

Amorogel Max Cream contains 'Amorolfine' that works by stopping producing a chemical called 'ergosterol' in fungi that causes nail infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, infection-causing fungi die. 

Use Amorogel Max Cream as suggested by your doctor. Common side effects of Amorogel Max Cream may include dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Amorogel Max Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Amorogel Max Cream. If you use Amorogel Max Cream in topical form, avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Amorogel Max Cream catches fire and burns easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before taking Amorogel Max Cream to adjust the dose.

Amorogel Max Cream is an antifungal that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of nails and skin such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Amorogel Max Cream causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thereby, clears fungal infection and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling and itching of the skin caused due to infections. 

Before using Amorogel Max Cream, let your doctor know if you have a history of liver diseases, adrenal gland problems, cataract, glaucoma, diabetes or allergic reactions to any medicine ingredient. Let your doctor know if you plan to become pregnant or already pregnant and a lactating mother. Studies show that there may be harmful effects on the baby; hence Amorogel Max Cream should be used with caution in pregnancy under your doctor's supervision. If you apply Amorogel Max Cream to breasts or nipple for treatment, wash it off while nursing your baby. Amorogel Max Cream is for external use only, so avoid contact with the eyes, the mouth, or intravaginally. Notify the doctor if there is no improvement after one week of treatment for tinea cruris or tinea corporis or two weeks for tinea pedis. When using Amorogel Max Cream in the groin area, patients should use the medication for two weeks only. Prolonged use of Amorogel Max Cream may cause hormonal suppression, Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar level), and glucosuria (high sugar in urine) in some patients. Apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) whenever you go outdoor in the sunlight. 

It is advised to reach out to your doctor if the fungal infection symptoms persist or worsen after two treatment weeks. Before applying Amorogel Max Cream, clean and dry the affected area. Avoid contact of Amorogel Max Cream with nose, mouth or eyes. If Amorogel Max Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Do not wash the treated areas for a minimum of 3 hours after you apply Amorogel Max Cream.
