Sertaconazole is indicated for the topical treatment of tinea pedis (athlete's foot) in immunocompetent patients. It may also be used for other dermatophyte infections as determined by a healthcare provider.
Sertaconazole is an azole antifungal that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption weakens the cell membrane, preventing the fungus from growing and multiplying.
For external use only; avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Apply as directed by your healthcare provider, typically twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any skin conditions before use.
