Loceryl 0.25% Cream 30gm contains amorolfine (0.25%), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Enzymes: Amorolfine works by inhibiting two key enzymes involved in ergosterol biosynthesis - delta14-reductase and delta7-delta8-isomerase. Ergosterol is a crucial component in the cell membrane of fungi.
• Alters Cell Membrane Permeability: By disrupting the production of ergosterol, amorolfine changes the permeability of the fungal cell membrane. This alteration leads to leakage of cellular components which inhibits fungal growth, thereby helping to manage the infection.

• Keep Loceryl 0.25% Cream 30gm at room temperature.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and keep away from heat and moisture.
• Ensure that the tube is tightly closed when not in use.
• Always store Loceryl 0.25% Cream 30gm away from children's reach.

• Try to keep your skin clean and dry, as excessive moisture can encourage fungal growth. This is particularly important if you have a condition like athlete's foot or jock itch that Loceryl 0.25% Cream 30gm helps manage.
• Wear breathable fabric, especially for underwear and socks, to prevent excess moisture build-up. This can help manage conditions like ringworm or nail fungus, for which Loceryl 0.25% Cream 30gm is often prescribed.
