But wait a minute: you might ask, what is bifonazole? Why should it be your go-to course of treatment for common fungal infections like athlete’s foot (alipunga), jock itch (hadhad), and other fungal skin infections? Let us break it down for you.
A study conducted with more than 6,000 superficial fungal skin infection patients treated with bifonazole for 2 to 3 weeks revealed that it helped for 90% of the patients.1 Specifically for athlete's foot, the study showed bifonazole is useful to 92% of the patients. This is because antifungal creams with bifonazole, like Bifonazole (CanesPro®), relieve symptoms of the condition, kill the fungi, and prevent fungal regrowth.
Bifonazole is the active ingredient in CanesPro®. It has antifungal and antibacterial properties, which help treat moderate to severe cases of fungal infections. These include those with fungal rash, broken and flaky skin, and severe itching.2 Bifonazole is also lipophilic, allowing it to penetrate the skin quickly at higher concentrations within an hour.3 Because it’s insoluble in water, you don’t have to worry about it being less effective because of sweat or it being completely washed off whenever you rinse with water afterwards.4 It remains inside the fungal cell for up to 120 hours, constantly disrupting its structure and functions.5
Other azoles like ketoconazole aren't a first-line medication anymore6 because of continuous studies providing more information on more effective treatments. For instance, bifonazole damages and prevents the reconstruction of the fungal cell membrane and stops ergosterol production.7 By inhibiting multiple steps, it ensures the fungus dies.8 Due to these unique properties, Bifonazole (CanesPro®) requires fewer applications throughout the treatment course.9
Looking for a way to get rid of the irritating, itchy fungal infections, which stops you from being cool? It’s time to go pro, bro! Try using Bifonazole (CanesPro®).
Always remember to finish the recommended duration of medication (2 - 4 weeks). Results may vary depending on the severity of the condition. Even if the symptoms disappear, continue using it to prevent recurrence. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
