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

Azolmen 1% cream, Azolmen 1% gel, Azolmen 1% cutaneous solution are used in the treatment of dermatomycoses (skin diseases caused by fungi) caused by dermatophytes, saccharomycetes (e.g., Candida), and other pathogenic fungi (e.g., Malassezia furfur). They are also used in dermatoses (non-inflammatory skin diseases) due to superinfections caused by the aforementioned pathogenic fungi and bacteria sensitive to AZOLMEN.
These diseases include: tinea pedis and interdigital tinea of the hand and foot (athlete's foot); onychomycosis (nail disease caused by pathogenic fungi), tinea corporis and tinea cruris (skin folds), pityriasis versicolor.

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

Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 2-4 weeks.
