What is it and what is it used for?
Travogen is a topical antifungal, i.e. a medicine that acts locally against fungi that cause skin infections (mycosis).
Travogen is used to treat superficial mycoses (dermatophytia, ringworm, candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor) and erythrasma (which manifests itself as brownish patches on the skin).

Contact your doctor if you notice no improvement or if you notice worsening of your symptoms.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Travogen.

Avoid contact with eyes.
Wash your hands thoroughly after using the medicine.
In case of lesions between the toes, insert a gauze compress soaked in Travogen cream.
To ensure the success of the treatment, please scrupulously observe some hygiene requirements:
• carefully dry the spaces between your toes, in case of localized mycosis on the feet
• keep towels and underwear separate for personal use to avoid infecting other people;
• Regularly change clothing that comes into contact with the infected area to avoid reinfection.
If Travogen is applied to the genital area, some of its components may damage latex products such as condoms or diaphragms, so they may no longer be effective.
