Ertaczo is indicated for the topical treatment of tinea pedis (athlete's foot) in immunocompetent adults. It targets the fungal infection on the skin of the feet.
Ertaczo contains sertaconazole nitrate, an imidazole antifungal agent. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a critical component of the fungal cell membrane, which disrupts the fungus and prevents its growth.
Ertaczo is for external use only and should not be applied near the eyes or mucous membranes. Common side effects may include local skin reactions such as redness, itching, or burning at the application site. Patients should complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve earlier.
