Tenafin
( Butenafine Hydrochloride cream )
Tenafin ® (Butenafine Hydrochloride) is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent. Butenafine Hydrochloride is hypothesized to act by inhibiting the epoxidation of squalene, thus blocking the biosynthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Tenafin ® (Butenafine Hydrochloride) cream is indicated for the topical treatment of the following superficial dermatophytosis: interdigital tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea corporis (ringworm) and tinea cruris (jock itch) due to E. floccosum, T. mentagrophytes, T. rubrum, and T. tonsurans. In the treatment of interdigital tinea pedis, Tenafin ® should be applied twice daily for 7 days or once daily for 4 weeks. Patients with tinea corporis or tinea cruris should apply Tenafin ® once daily for two weeks.
