Bifonazole is an antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal infections of the skin, nails, and hair. It belongs to the class of drugs called azole antifungals and works by preventing the growth of the fungus. Bifonazole is available in different formulations, including creams, lotions, gels, sprays, and powders. It is applied directly to the affected area once or twice daily as directed by a healthcare professional. Bifonazole is usually well-tolerated, but common side effects may include itching, redness, burning, and stinging at the site of application. It is important to use bifonazole as prescribed and for the full duration of treatment to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
