SURFAZ (Clotrimazole (1% w/v))

Surfaz Cream is an antifungal agent indicated for the management of various fungal skin infections, which may include conditions such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, diaper dermatitis, intertrigo (sweat rash), and vaginal candidiasis. This formulation acts by disrupting the cell membrane of the fungi, effectively leading to their elimination. It is intended solely for topical application. It is essential to adhere to the dosage and duration prescribed by your healthcare professional to achieve optimal outcomes. Regular application of the cream is vital for effectiveness, and it’s important not to exceed the recommended amount, as this may lead to an increase in adverse effects. Should your symptoms persist beyond four weeks or worsen, please consult your physician promptly. Maintaining cleanliness and dryness of the affected areas can enhance the medication’s efficacy, and it is advisable to wash hands before and after application. For those suffering from athlete’s foot, regularly washing socks or tights and changing footwear daily can be beneficial. Some common adverse effects may include local irritation, redness, or pruritus at the site of application. If these effects are bothersome or do not resolve, it is important to inform your healthcare provider. Severe allergic reactions requiring immediate medical attention may occur, indicated by symptoms such as rash, swelling of facial features, difficulty with swallowing or breathing, dizziness, or nausea. Seek emergency assistance if any of these reactions occur. Caution is advised when using this medication concurrently with other treatments, especially if there is a history of allergic reactions to similar drugs. During pregnancy, this cream should only be used if deemed necessary by a healthcare provider.
