Who Makes Desenex Foot Powder-and is it any good

Desenex(R) is an antifungal agent made by Novartis Consumer Health,a division of Swiss pharmaceutical titan Novartis.It consists of undecylenic acid/zinc undecylenate,as well as talc and fragrance.Undecylenic acid/zinc undecylenate is a clinically validated antifungal agent for the treatment and cure of superficial fungus infections of the skin,including athlete's foot,jock itch and ringworm.It is not for treatment of the nails or hairy areas.
Desenex is not recommended for children under two,pregnant women or diabetics and others with blood vessel problems without first consulting a physician.It is also available in spray powder and cream forms.In my experience,it is a fast-acting,effective over the counter medication when used according to directions.
Other Novartis Consumer Health brands include Bufferin;Theraflu;and Doan's.
