Amonext Amorolfine 0.25% Cream In Pakistan
Amonext Amorolfine 0.25% Cream is a topical antifungal medication primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin and nails. Its active ingredient, Amorolfine Hydrochloride 0.25% w/w, belongs to the morpholine derivative class of antifungals and works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, leading to the death of the fungus.
Mechanism of Action:
Amorolfine works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to increased permeability and ultimately fungal cell death.

Superficial mycoses caused by dermatophytes and yeasts
Management of tinea infections on body, feet, and hands.
Dosage and Application
