Always thoroughly wash your hands before and after applying Sporfung Cream. If the feet are infected, they should be washed and dried thoroughly, especially between the toes, before applying Sporfung Cream. It should be applied to form a thin and uniform layer onto the affected areas daily and should be rubbed in gently.

Sporfung Cream is safe for use in children provided it is used in the recommended doses for the recommended period of time. Minor side effects may occur but usually they do not become bothersome.
