AMORTAS CREAM 30GM
Amortas Cream 30gm, manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd., is a topical antifungal medication used for treating various fungal infections of the skin and nails.
Composition Amortas Cream contains a combination of active ingredients:
- Amorolfine (0.25% w/w)
- Phenoxyethanol (1% w/w)
Amorolfine works by disrupting the production of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the death of the infection-causing fungi. Phenoxyethanol acts as a preservative.
Uses Amortas Cream is prescribed for the management of various fungal infections, including:
- Fungal infections of the skin and nails (onychomycosis)
- Ringworm (Tinea corporis)
- Jock itch (Tinea cruris)
- Athlete's foot (Tinea pedis)
- Cutaneous candidiasis (yeast infections on the skin)
- Pityriasis versicolor (discolored patches caused by fungal overgrowth)
- Seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on various body parts)
Dosage and Administration Amortas Cream is for external use only.
- Clean and dry the affected skin or nails thoroughly before application.
- Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area and the surrounding skin, gently massaging until fully absorbed.
- For nail infections, apply the cream around the nail folds and under the surface of the nail plate using an applicator.
- The cream is typically applied once daily, ideally in the evening or at bedtime, or as directed by a doctor.
- Wash hands thoroughly after applying the cream to prevent spreading the infection, unless the hands are the area being treated.
- The duration of treatment varies, with fingernail infections potentially taking up to six months and toenail infections between 9 and 12 months for a complete cure. It is crucial to complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve.
Side Effects Common side effects may include:
- Dry skin
- Itching
- Redness
- Burning sensation of the skin
- Skin irritation
- Red spots on skin
- Blisters under the skin
- Hives
- Skin peeling, dryness, or blistering
- Changes in the color of the nail or increased nail brittleness
Serious allergic reactions are rare; however, if severe irritation, rash, or other unusual symptoms occur, discontinue use and consult a doctor immediately.
Precautions
- Allergies: Do not use Amortas Cream if you are allergic to amorolfine or any of its other ingredients.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Caution is advised. Consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as limited data is available.
- Children: Amortas Cream is generally not recommended for use in children below 12 or 18 years of age, as its safety and efficacy have not been clearly established; use only if prescribed by a doctor.
- External Use: Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose, open wounds, cuts, or damaged skin. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Other Topical Products: Avoid using other topical antifungal or steroidal creams, lotions, or ointments on the same area without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to increased irritation or reduced effectiveness.
- Nail Products: When treating nail infections, avoid the use of nail varnishes and artificial nails.
- Flammability: If applying Amortas Cream, avoid smoking or going near naked flames as the cream may catch fire and burn easily.
- Treatment Course: Do not stop treatment prematurely, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the infection and prevent recurrence. If the infection does not improve after a specified period (e.g., 5 days for skin infections or two weeks for some fungal conditions), consult your doctor.

How does AMORTAS CREAM 30GM work?
AMORTAS CREAM 30GM contains Amorolfine, an antifungal agent. It works by preventing the growth of fungi on the skin or nails. Amorolfine achieves this by inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, which leads to the disruption and death of the fungal cells.
What is the usual dosage for AMORTAS CREAM 30GM?
You should use AMORTAS CREAM 30GM as directed by your doctor. Typically, a thin layer of the cream is applied to the affected areas once daily, preferably in the evening. It's important to clean and dry the infected area thoroughly before application. For nail infections, treatment duration can range from six months for fingernail infections to nine to twelve months for toenail infections to achieve a complete cure, as it requires the growth of new, healthy nails.
What are the possible side effects of AMORTAS CREAM 30GM?
Common side effects may include burning, redness, itching, dry or scaly skin, or irritation at the application site. These are usually mild and tend to resolve on their own over time.

Is AMORTAS CREAM 30GM safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There is limited information available regarding the use of AMORTAS CREAM 30GM during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It should generally not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary and under strict medical supervision. For breastfeeding mothers, caution is advised, and the cream should not be applied to the breast or large areas of skin for prolonged periods. It is recommended to consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can AMORTAS CREAM 30GM be taken with other medications?
Since AMORTAS CREAM 30GM is applied topically, it is less likely to interact with oral medications. However, you should inform your doctor about all other medications you are using, especially other topical creams (including other antifungals or steroidal creams) on the same affected area, as they might interfere with its effectiveness or increase the risk of skin irritation.
What precautions should be taken when using AMORTAS CREAM 30GM?
AMORTAS CREAM 30GM is for external use only. Avoid contact with your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and any open wounds or broken skin. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with clean water. Do not stop using the cream before completing the full prescribed treatment course, even if your symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from returning. It is advisable to avoid using cosmetic nail products or artificial nails on treated nails.
What happens if a dose is missed?
If you miss an application of AMORTAS CREAM 30GM, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular application schedule. Do not apply extra cream to compensate for a missed dose.
How should AMORTAS CREAM 30GM be stored?
Store AMORTAS CREAM 30GM at room temperature, ideally below 25°C or 30°C, in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. Keep the cream in its original container, tightly closed, and out of the reach of children and pets. Any unused medicine should be disposed of properly.
