Description

Sertacide 2 % Cream is a topical antifungal medicine. It is used in the treatment of an athlete's foot (a fungal infection that causes itchy, scaly, and white patches on the feet and between the toes). Sertacide 2 % Cream works by slowing the growth of fungi that cause infection.

Consult your doctor if these side effects do not resolve with time or worsen. Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to it. Sertacide 2 % Cream is recommended for external use only. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Apply a thin layer of this cream to the affected area and spread evenly. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse immediately with water in case of accidental contact Sertacide 2 % Cream can take a few weeks to clear the infection and a few months for your skin to become normal. Consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or your condition worsens even after two to four weeks of treatment. This medicine should not be used in children under 12 years of age without medical advice. Sertacide 2 % Cream is not recommended for use in children below 12 years of age as the safety and efficacy data are not available.
