You may occasionally experience some side effects. These are rare and consist of local skin irritation or rashes, which occur if you are unusually sensitive to the ingredients listed.

Please read this label carefully before use.

• Dynarex Antifungal Powder is not suitable for the treatment of fungal infections of the scalp or nails, and you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist for alternative treatments for these conditions. In order to ensure successful treatment, it is important to use the powder regularly and to continue for at least 10 days after the disappearance of symptoms. This prevents the infection from reoccurring.

• Remember that most fungal infections are very infectious and can easily be passed on to other family members. In order to prevent this happening, it is important to ensure that anyone who has an infection avoids sharing clothes, towels, or shoes with other family members. After applying the powder, wash and dry your hands thoroughly. If your skin condition does not improve after one week’s use, please consult your doctor or pharmacist.

• If you forget to apply the powder, do not apply the missed dose, but apply the next dose as usual and continue as normal. Do not apply two doses at the same time.

Interactions

If you are taking oral anticoagulants (drugs used to thin the blood, such as Warfarin), talk to your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Overdose

Excessive use can result in skin irritation, which usually disappears after discontinuation of therapy. In case of accidental ingestion of powder go to the hospital immediately.

Sprinkle onto the affected area twice daily. It can be safely applied to broken skin and may also be sprinkled onto clothes and footwear, which come into contact with the infected area.
