What is naftifine HCl and how does it work?

Naftifine hydrochloride is a prescription topical allylamine antifungal, sold under the brand name Naftin. It treats tinea (dermatophyte) skin infections, including interdigital athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). These infections are caused by dermatophyte fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Epidermophyton floccosum.

It works by inhibiting an enzyme called squalene epoxidase, which blocks the fungus from making ergosterol, a key part of its cell membrane. The 1% cream is applied once daily (some labeling allows twice daily), and the 2% gel or cream is applied once daily. Courses with the 1% cream or gel typically run about 2 to 4 weeks.

Safety and side effects

Naftifine HCl is for topical (external) use only. It is not for use in the eyes, mouth, or vagina, and it is not for oral or intravaginal use. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. Stop using it and contact your provider if you develop irritation or signs of an allergic skin reaction (allergic contact dermatitis). Naftifine has no boxed warning.

The most common side effects are local and usually mild: burning or stinging, itching, dryness, and redness at the application site. If your infection does not improve after the full treatment course, see your provider, since the diagnosis may need to be reevaluated.
