FAQs
Q. For how long do I need to continue applying Sporfung Cream? Can I stop if the symptoms have completely disappeared?
The duration of the treatment depends on the type of infection. In general, the treatment is continued for 1 month for tinea infection and at least 15 days for candida infection. Do not stop the treatment on your own even if you feel better because the infection may come back as it takes some time to kill the fungus completely.
Q. What precautions are necessary while applying Sporfung Cream?
Always thoroughly wash your hands before and after applying Sporfung Cream. If the feet are infected, they should be washed and dried thoroughly, especially between the toes, before applying Sporfung Cream. It should be applied to form a thin and uniform layer onto the affected areas daily and should be rubbed in gently.
Q. Is Sporfung Cream safe to use in children?
Sporfung Cream is safe for use in children provided it is used in the recommended doses for the recommended period of time. Minor side effects may occur but usually they do not become bothersome. However, if you develop a burning sensation or areas of severe redness, itching, then stop the medicine and contact your doctor.
Q. What measures should be taken for a fast recovery?
Keep the affected skin areas clean and dry and avoid excessive rubbing. The itchiness may give you an urge to scratch but avoid scratching as it will damage the surface of skin, spreading the infection further. Do not share towels, bath mats, etc. with other people as you could spread the infection to them.
Q. Does Sporfung Cream have any side effects?
Yes, Sporfung Cream can cause side effects but not everyone gets affected by them. You may suffer from mild and transient rash or burning sensations that generally disappear rapidly.
Q. How to store Sporfung Cream?

Q. Can I stop using Sporfung Cream when I feel better?
No, do not stop using Sporfung Cream without consulting your doctor even if you are feeling better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured. Therefore, for better and complete treatment, it is advised to continue your treatment for the prescribed duration.
