Fungal Infection

Tolnaftate is used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It works as an antifungal by stopping the fungus from growing further.

Tolnaftate is an antifungal medicine that works by damaging the hyphae (thread-like filaments) of fungi and blocking their mycelial growth. This action makes it effective against dermatophytes such as Epidermophyton, Microsporum, and Trichophyton species, as well as against Malassezia furfur. It does not work against Candida species or bacteria.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Tolnaftate cream or powder has not been given an official FDA pregnancy category. No animal studies on it have been reported, and there is no controlled research in pregnant women. Because of this, doctors generally advise using topical tolnaftate during pregnancy only when the expected benefit justifies the possible risk. It is likewise unknown whether tolnaftate passes into human breast milk.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
