Uses of Sertacide Cream
- Jock itch (tinea cruris)
- Ringworm (tinea corporis)
- And cutaneous candidiasis
- May also be used for pityriasis (tinea) versicolor as advised by a doctor
Benefits of Sertacide Cream
- In Fungal skin infection
- Sertacide kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
- In Ringworm
- Sertacide clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
- In Athlete's foot
- Sertacide clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
- In Dandruff
- Sertacide controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
- In Nail fungal infection
- Sertacide, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.
How Sertacide Cream works
Sertaconazole is an imidazole antifungal that inhibits synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This damages the membrane, inhibits fungal growth, and helps clear infection while relieving itching and redness.
How to take Sertacide Cream
For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer to the affected skin (and surrounding area) as prescribed, usually once or twice daily. Continue for the full course even if symptoms improve; wash hands after application and avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin unless advised.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Sertacide Cream
Most side effects of Sertacide are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Burning or stinging at application site
- itching
- redness
- irritation
- dryness
- rash
- skin peeling
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
