Fungal infections are surprisingly common, affecting everything from our skin and nails to our internal organs. While some fungal infections are mild and easily treated, others can be persistent and uncomfortable.
One common treatment for superficial fungal infections is tolnaftate, an antifungal medication that comes in creams, powders, and sprays, much like Miconazole Nitrate Cream. Tolnaftate is available over the counter in a 1% solution. This means that for every 100 milliliters of solution, there is 1 gram of tolnaftate.
If your doctor has recommended tolnaftate 1 solution, or you’re considering using it for a fungal infection, this article will help you learn more about this medication, how it works, what precautions you need to take, and what side effects you might experience.
