Sertaspor Cream

Introduction

Sertaspor Cream is a topical antifungal medication used to treat various fungal skin infections. It contains Sertaconazole, which effectively combats fungal growth by disrupting the integrity of fungal cell membranes. This cream is commonly prescribed for conditions such as athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch. By addressing the root cause of the infection, Sertaspor Cream provides relief from symptoms like itching, redness, and scaling, helping to restore healthy skin.

Uses of Sertaspor Cream

Sertaspor Cream is used for:

• Treatment of fungal infections like athlete's foot (tinea pedis)
• Managing ringworm (tinea corporis)
• Treating jock itch (tinea cruris)
• Relief from symptoms like itching, redness, and irritation caused by fungal infections

How Sertaspor Cream Works

Sertaspor Cream contains Sertaconazole, an antifungal agent that works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane. It inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane, causing the cells to weaken and die. This action helps in clearing up the infection and relieving associated symptoms.
