Product Overview
Fintop is a topical antifungal cream containing Budenafine HCL as its active ingredient. This medication is clinically proven to effectively treat various dermatological fungal infections including athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), and jock itch (tinea cruris).
Therapeutic Applications
Fintop is specifically formulated to combat superficial fungal infections of the skin. Its broad-spectrum antifungal action makes it effective against:
- Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot)

- Tinea cruris (jock itch)
The medication works by targeting fungal cells while preserving healthy skin tissue.
Application Guidelines
For optimal results:
- Thoroughly cleanse and dry the affected area before application
- Apply a thin, even layer of cream to cover the infected area and approximately 1 inch of surrounding healthy skin
- Gently massage until completely absorbed
- Wash hands after application (unless treating hand infections)
Always adhere to your healthcare provider’s specific instructions regarding frequency and duration of use.
Mechanism of Action
Budenafine HCL, the pharmacologically active component of Fintop, exerts its antifungal effects by:
- Inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis
- Disrupting fungal cell membrane integrity
- Causing intracellular content leakage
- Ultimately leading to fungal cell death
