Advantages of NAFTIN GEL 2% aqueous-based, gel formulation3

The choice of a rapid-drying, non-greasy gel may enhance patient compliance1

  • Treating interdigital tinea pedis can be a challenge because the warm, moist environment of feet cramped in shoes provides the ideal environment for fungi11
  • Aqueous-based gels, like NAFTIN 2%, have excellent penetration properties and a drying effect that is advantageous for interdigital spaces that tend to stay moist1
  • A non-greasy gel may also be preferable in areas covered by socks and shoes1
