Description
Sertaconazole 2% Cream: A well-renowned cream used in the treatment of issues related to fungal and yeast infections such as ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, etc. It gives a dual-action effect on infection, bacteria, and fungus by killing them at the root and giving soothing relief for a longer duration. This is especially helpful in controlling persistent or recurrent fungal infections that resist other treatments.
How It Works
By altering the fungal cell membrane, sertaconazole targets ergosterol synthesis—a necessary process for the survival of fungus. The fungal cells grow unstable and finally die off without a properly functioning membrane. Sertaconazole differs from many other antifungals in that it kills the fungus and provides faster symptomatic relief by adding anti-inflammatory and antipruritic action, helping to reduce the itching and redness often accompanying these infections.
