How Texifen Cream Works

Texifen Cream contains Terbinafine, an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. It interferes with the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane, causing the fungi to break down and ultimately die. This helps in clearing the infection and alleviating the symptoms such as itching, redness, and irritation on the skin.

• Reduces itching, irritation, and discomfort associated with fungal infections
• Quickly absorbs into the skin for targeted action
