What is AF-C Dusting Powder

AF-C Dusting Powder is an anti-fungal dusting powder widely used to treat and prevent fungal diseases, including Athlete's foot, Jock itch, and ringworm infections. It includes Miconazole, which belongs to a class of antifungal medications called Imidazoles. It assists in preventing the growth of fungus on the skin.

The powder also absorbs excess moisture, keeping the skin dry and decreasing friction. This is particularly helpful in regions prone to sweating. It is an excellent choice for preserving skin cleanliness and comfort, particularly in warm or humid climates.

The powder should not be used on cuts or burns. Furthermore, it may diminish the efficacy of rubber contraceptives, such as condoms and diaphragms, when applied to the genital area, necessitating the use of alternate contraception methods for at least five days following application.

Since this powder is used externally, it rarely interacts with medications. However, if you are taking other skin treatments, you should contact your doctor to avoid any potential interactions. Always read the instructions on the product label or contact a healthcare expert to ensure safe and effective use.

Systopic Laboratories, India, primarily manufactures the medication in a GMP-compliant facility.

What are the benefits of AF-C Dusting Powder

AF-C Dusting Powder combines antifungal and moisture-absorbing characteristics to treat and prevent fungal skin infections. The powerful antifungal component, Miconazole, prevents the growth of fungi like Candida and Dermatophytes, which cause Athlete's foot, Jock itch, and ringworm infections.

Simultaneously, the powder absorbs excess moisture from the skin, providing a dry environment that makes fungus challenging to grow. This dusting powder reduces friction and keeps the skin dry, relieving itching, irritation, and redness and helping prevent subsequent infections.

Regular use as prescribed creates an effective barrier against fungal development, resulting in healthier, more pleasant skin.
