Kuric is used to treat superficial fungal infections including tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea cruris (jock itch), and seborrheic dermatitis. It is intended for topical application on affected skin areas.
As an azole antifungal, Kuric works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts the fungal cell wall, preventing growth and allowing the infection to clear.
For external use only; avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed even if symptoms improve. Do not use on broken or damaged skin without medical advice. Consult a healthcare provider if no improvement occurs after 4 weeks of treatment.
