Overview
Exoderil 1% Cream contains naftifine hydrochloride 1%, a topical allylamine antifungal medicine used to treat fungal skin infections caused by dermatophytes, such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), and jock itch (tinea cruris).
Naftifine works by inhibiting an enzyme called squalene epoxidase, which the fungus needs to build its cell membrane. This causes the fungal cell membrane to become defective and leads to fungal cell death, making naftifine fungicidal rather than simply fungistatic against most dermatophytes.
How it Works
Naftifine blocks squalene epoxidase, an enzyme fungi need to produce ergosterol, an essential component of their cell membrane. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes unstable and the fungus dies, clearing the infection when applied consistently for the full recommended duration.
Directions for Use
Clean and dry the affected area before applying Exoderil 1% Cream. Gently rub in a thin layer covering the affected skin and a small margin of the surrounding healthy skin. Wash your hands before and after application, unless the hands are the area being treated. Continue using this medicine for the full course recommended by your doctor, even after your symptoms improve, to help prevent the infection from returning.
Dosage
Apply a thin layer of Exoderil 1% Cream to the affected area and the surrounding skin once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Treatment is usually continued for two to four weeks, but your doctor will confirm the right duration for your specific infection.
