What is Tydisil Xtra Antifungal Cream?
Tydisil Xtra is a potent antifungal treatment containing Terbinafine Hydrochloride 1%. It is used to treat a wide range of skin infections caused by fungi. Unlike some creams that only stop fungal growth, Terbinafine is fungicidal, meaning it kills the fungal cells directly.
In Nigeria, Tydisil Xtra is marketed by Osworth Nigeria Limited (a subsidiary of May & Baker) and is a trusted choice for fast relief from skin irritation.
What is Tydisil Cream used for?
Tydisil Xtra is highly effective against common skin conditions including:
- Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Red, itchy, circular skin patches.
- Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis): Cracking and itching between the toes.
- Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): Fungal infection in the groin area.
- Pityriasis Versicolor: Discolored patches on the chest, back, or arms.
- Cutaneous Candidiasis: Yeast infections in skin folds.
How to use Tydisil Cream for best results
For effective treatment, follow these steps:
- Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly.
- Apply a thin layer of the cream to the infected spot and the surrounding skin.
- Use it once or twice daily for 1 to 2 weeks as recommended.
- Continue the treatment for the full duration, even if the skin looks clear, to prevent the infection from returning.
Important Precautions
Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. While some people search for "Tydisil for face", it should only be used on the face for confirmed fungal infections and with caution. It is not a treatment for acne or eczema. If you have any doubts, you can chat with a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
