Used for treatment of superficial fungal skin infections such as tinea (ringworm), athlete's foot, and other dermatophyte infections. The pin-variant formulation may provide sustained or localized delivery to affected skin areas.
As an azole antifungal, it works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption weakens the fungal cell wall, leading to cell death.
For external/topical use only. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Discontinue use if irritation or hypersensitivity reactions occur. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed. Not typically used for systemic fungal infections.
