About LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM
- LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM is an antifungal medication that is primarily used for the treatment of fungal infections of the nails.
- Fungal infections of the nails, also known as onychomycosis, can be caused by different types of fungi, typically dermatophytes. These infections can lead to thickened, discolored, and brittle nails, which can be aesthetically unpleasant and cause discomfort. LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption weakens the cell membrane and ultimately leads to the death of the fungus.
- LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM is a topical treatment that is directly applied to the affected nails. It is typically recommended for mild to moderate cases of onychomycosis where the infection is limited to the distal edge or sides of the nail. Before applying the LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM, it is essential to clean and file the affected nails to remove any debris or loose material. LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM is then applied using the provided applicator brush, covering the entire affected nail surface and the surrounding skin.
Uses of LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM
- Effective treatment for fungal nail infections (onychomycosis).
- Inhabits the synthesis of ergosterol, weakening the fungal cell membrane and leading to the death of the fungus.
- Helps to improve appearance of infected nails, reducing thickening, discoloration, and brittleness.
- Gradual regrowth of healthy nails over time as the infected nails are replaced.
- Prevent the spread of infection
How LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM Works
- LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. Fungi, including those that cause nail infections, rely on ergosterol to maintain the integrity and function of their cell membranes. By disrupting ergosterol synthesis, amorolfine weakens the cell membrane, leading to cell death and subsequent elimination of the fungal infection.
- When LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM is applied topically, it penetrates the nail plate and reaches the site of the fungal infection. The active ingredient in LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM interacts with the fungal cells, specifically targeting an enzyme called squalene epoxidase, which is involved in the production of ergosterol. By inhibiting this enzyme,LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, resulting in the impairment of the fungal cell membrane's structure and function.
- As a consequence, the weakened cell membrane causes leakage of cellular contents, disruption of essential cellular processes, and ultimately leads to the death of the fungus. Over time, as the affected nails grow out and are replaced by healthy nails, the visible signs of the fungal infection, such as thickening and discoloration, gradually improve.
Side Effects of LIVAFIN CREAM 30 GM
