Uses of Sertaconazole

Sertaconazole is commonly used in the treatment of Fungal Infections, Severe Fungal Infections and Dandruff.

How Sertaconazole Works

Sertaconazole inhibits the 14-a demethylase which reduces the production of ergosterol. Ergosterol is an essential component for fungal cell membrane, the reduce in production will eventually cause the fungal cell membrane to be more permeable leading to leakage of cellular contents. This can help to eliminate the fungus.
