Sertanorm Cream (Sertaconazole Nitrate 2% Cream) (Per Cream)

How Sertanorm Cream Works

Sertaconazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This leads to increased membrane permeability, causing leakage of cellular contents and eventual fungal cell death.

It also exhibits anti-inflammatory and antipruritic properties, helping to reduce itching and skin discomfort.
