Quick Tips
Amortas Cream has been prescribed for the treatment of fungal skin infection. It also helps in the treatment of nail infection. Keep using the medicine even after the symptoms of the infection have cleared up to prevent it from coming back. Avoid getting in the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. When using for nail infections, avoid the use of nail varnishes and artificial nails. Do not share your nail-filer to prevent the spread of infection. Inform your doctor if the infection has not cleared up after 5 days of treatment. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to clear a nail infection?
Treatment with Amortas Cream typically improves symptoms within a few days or weeks, leading to clearing the infection. However, completely eradicating nail infections can take several months, ranging from at least 6 months for fingernail infections and 9-12 months for toenail infections. This is because nail infections are cleared only after the infected nail naturally recedes to reveal a healthy new nail.
Can I stop taking Amortas Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
While you may notice some symptom improvement, do not discontinue the medication before completing the full course of treatment as prescribed. If your infection does not improve after 5 days, inform your doctor immediately.
What are the instructions for storage and disposal of Amortas Cream?
Keep Amortas Cream in its original container or packaging, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions on the provided label or packaging.
