Sertaconazole 2% Lotion 15ml Uses

Sertaconazole 2% Lotion is prescribed to:

  • Treat fungal skin infections such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis) and ringworm (tinea corporis).
  • Address seborrheic dermatitis and related conditions.
  • Relieve symptoms like itching, redness, scaling, and irritation caused by fungal infections.

How Does Sertaconazole 2% Lotion Work

Sertaconazole works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane. It inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane, leading to fungal cell death. This mechanism helps eliminate the infection and provides relief from associated symptoms.

How to Use Sertaconazole 2% Lotion 15ml

  • Clean the Affected Area: Wash and dry the affected area thoroughly before applying the lotion.
  • Apply the Lotion: Use a small amount of the lotion and apply it evenly over the affected area.
  • Frequency: Apply the lotion as prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.
  • Continue Treatment: Use the lotion for the full duration recommended by your doctor, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence.

Important Notes

  • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Wash hands after application to prevent the spread of infection.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

  • Mild skin irritation, redness, or itching at the application site
  • Burning or stinging sensation after application

  • Signs of skin sensitivity or worsening symptoms

If any side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
