What is it and what is it used for?
AZOLMEN contains bifonazole and is a broad-spectrum antifungal that works against infections caused by dermatophytes (skin parasitic fungi), saccharomyces (yeasts), molds and other pathogenic fungi such as Malassezia furfur.

Azolmen 1% cream, Azolmen 1% gel, and Azolmen 1% cutaneous solution are used to treat dermatomycoses (fungal skin diseases) caused by dermatophytes, yeasts (e.g., Candida), and other pathogenic fungi (e.g., Malassezia furfur). They are also used in dermatoses (non-inflammatory skin diseases) caused by superinfections caused by the aforementioned pathogenic fungi and bacteria sensitive to Azolmen.
These diseases include: plantar and interdigital mycosis of the hands and feet (athlete's foot); onychomycosis (nail disease caused by pathogenic fungi), mycosis of the trunk and skin folds, and pityriasis versicolor.

Azolmen 1% cutaneous powder is indicated for the treatment of moist mycoses of the skin and skin folds, especially if localized in areas that are usually covered or poorly ventilated (for example: bandage dermatitis, interdigital mycosis), as well as an addition to treatment with Azolmen 1% cream, Azolmen 1% gel and Azolmen 1% cutaneous solution.

Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 2 to 4 weeks.
