Civaderm Xl Cream 50gm is applied topically.

Civaderm Xl Cream 50gm contains ciclopirox (1% concentration). This active ingredient works on the body through the following actions:

• Interference with Cellular Processes: Ciclopirox disrupts cellular membrane permeability and fungal respiratory activities. This leads to impaired transport of essential elements within fungal cells.

• Inhibition of DNA, RNA, and Protein Synthesis: This ingredient also hinders the creation of DNA, RNA, and proteins in fungal cells.

• Metal Chelation: Ciclopirox chelates polyvalent metal cations like Fe3+ and Al3+, blocking enzymes that break down toxic peroxides in fungi. As a result, a harmful concentration of peroxide accumulates within the fungal cell, leading to cell death.

• Store Civaderm Xl Cream 50gm at controlled room temperature.

• Keep it far from direct heat and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Make sure the tube is tightly sealed after each use.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children for safety reasons.

• Maintain good personal hygiene: Regularly wash your hands and dry them properly, especially before applying Civaderm Xl Cream 50gm. This can help prevent the further spread of fungal infections.

• Wear breathable clothing: For conditions like athlete's foot or jock itch, wearing loose, breathable clothes can reduce moisture build-up and limit fungal growth. Avoid synthetic fabrics that trap sweat.
