Composition.

The active substance is naftifine hydrochloride. 1 ml cutaneous solution contains 10 mg naftifine hydrochloride. The other components are: propylene glycol, ethanol, purified water.

Therapeutic indications.

Exoderil is a medicine used against fungi, for skin application.

It is recommended for the treatment of the following infections:

- mycotic infections of the skin or skin folds (tinea corporis, tinea inghinalis);

- mycotic infections of the foot, especially interdigital, on the sole and on the nails (onychomycosis);

- mycotic infections of the hand, located interdigitally and on the nails (onychomycosis);

- cutaneous infections with Candida;

- Pityriasis versicolor.

In addition to its antimycotic effect, Exoderil also has antibacterial activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, which can frequently occur associated with fungal infections.

Additionally, during clinical use, an anti-inflammatory effect occurs; this effect leads to rapid improvement of inflammatory signs, particularly itching.

Dosage and administration.

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.

You should talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Exoderil is used once a day on the affected skin area, after previously cleaning and drying this area.

To prevent recurrences, treatment should be continued for 2 weeks after clinical cure.

Exoderil is used only for local applications.

In order to cure the fungal infection (mycosis) as soon as possible, please consider the following aspects:

1. Microbes can adhere to textile material, making contact with the infected skin area. Therefore, daily changing of clothes is necessary.

2. Normal and, in particular, dry skin provides good protection against fungal infections. It is recommended to avoid covering the infected skin area with tight clothing or garments that allow limited ventilation or no ventilation (e.g., socks made of artificial textile fibers worn in tight shoes). Also, after washing, you must thoroughly dry the infected area. Any towel or clothing must be changed daily.

3. In the case of athlete's foot, you should not walk barefoot at home, in the bathroom or, for example, in a hotel. This is how you can prevent re-infection and prevent the further spread of pathogenic microbes.

4. Saunas or steam baths should only be frequented after the fungal infection has been completely cured.

Precautions.

Exoderil contains ethanol and therefore should not come into contact with the eyes or be applied to skin areas with lesions.
