What it is and what it is used for
Travogen is a topical antifungal, meaning a medicine that acts locally against fungi that cause skin infections (mycoses).
Travogen is used to treat superficial mycoses (dermatophytosis, ringworm, candidiasis, pityriasis versicolor) and erythrasma (which appears as brownish patches on the skin).

Consult your doctor if you do not notice any improvement or if your symptoms worsen.

What you need to know before taking the medicine
Do not use Travogen
- if you are allergic to isoconazole nitrate or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions
Consult 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 fingers, insert a gauze pad soaked in Travogen cream.
To ensure the success of the treatment, strictly observe some hygiene precautions:
• carefully dry the spaces between your toes, in case of mycosis located on the feet
• keep towels and underwear separate for personal use to avoid infecting other people;
• regularly change clothes that come 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.
The use, especially prolonged use, of topical products can lead to sensitization phenomena (allergy). In this case, stop the treatment and consult your doctor to initiate appropriate therapy.

Pediatric population
The use of the medicine in infants (0-2 years) is not recommended unless strictly necessary and under close medical supervision, as data in subjects of this age are very limited.
