Can 2 % Cream 15 GM contains ketoconazole (2 %), which has the following effects on your body:

• Inhibits Ergosterol Synthesis: Ketoconazole works by blocking the formation of ergosterol in fungal cells. Ergosterol is crucial for maintaining the structure and function of the fungal cell membrane.
• Increases Cell Membrane Permeability: By inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, ketoconazole increases the permeability of the fungal cell membrane. This leads to leakage and loss of essential cellular contents.
• Causes Fungal Cell Death: Following increased permeability and leakage of cellular contents, fungal cells are unable to survive and eventually die.
• Reduces Symptoms: In addition to its antifungal action, ketoconazole also has anti-inflammatory properties which help reduce symptoms associated with fungal infections.

• If you're managing ringworm, athlete's foot, or jock itch, make sure to keep your skin clean and dry. Fungi thrive in moist environments, so avoid wearing tight-fitting or wet clothes for prolonged periods.
• Incorporate foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E into your diet. These nutrients are good for skin health and can help prevent fungal infections. Some examples include oranges, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, almonds and spinach. Always remember to consult your doctor about any significant diet changes.
