Tyza Cream

Introduction

Tyza Cream is a topical antifungal medication used to treat various skin infections caused by fungi. It contains Terbinafine as its active ingredient, which works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, providing relief from symptoms like itching, redness, and discomfort. This cream is effective in treating athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, and other fungal infections.

Uses of Tyza Cream

Tyza Cream is used for the treatment of:

• Athlete's foot (tinea pedis).

How Tyza Cream Works

Tyza Cream contains Terbinafine, an antifungal agent that works by disrupting the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This weakens the membrane, causing the fungi to die and halting the spread of infection.
