Frequently asked questions
What is Tinacure 1% Cream?

It can also be used for treating fungal skin infections like pityriasis (tinea versicolor), which causes white or dark pigmentation on the face, neck, chest, arms, or legs. It works by killing the causative fungus, helping to clear the infection.
How long does it take for Tinacure 1% Cream to work?
Tinacure 1% Cream is an antifungal medicine that acts directly on the skin to treat fungal infections. The usual dosage of Tinacure 1% Cream is once or twice daily.

How do we apply Tinacure 1% Cream on the skin?
Clean and dry the affected skin area thoroughly. Then, apply a thin layer of Tinacure 1% Cream directly to the affected skin gently. Do not cover the area after applying the cream unless instructed by your doctor. However, if the infection is present under the breasts, between the fingers, buttocks, or in the groin, then the cream should be applied properly and the skin may be covered with a sterile dressing. Avoid getting the medicine into the eyes, nose, or mouth. Inform your doctor if you experience any signs of increased irritation, redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, or oozing.
How long can I use Tinacure 1% Cream?
Tinacure 1% Cream usually takes a few days to relieve symptoms.

For various fungal infections, the duration of treatment typically ranges from 1 to 2 weeks and can be extended up to 4 weeks in some cases. Discontinuing treatment before the prescribed time increases the risk of reinfection.
