Nizral Cream contains an active ingredient called ketoconazole.

• Ketoconazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi on the skin.
• It targets specific enzymes in fungi that are essential for their survival.
• By disrupting these enzymes, ketoconazole prevents fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is crucial for their cell membranes.
• Without intact cell membranes, fungi cannot survive and grow.
• Ketoconazole also interferes with the synthesis of other vital components within fungal cells.
• This disruption weakens the fungal structure and ultimately leads to their death.
• Additionally, ketoconazole has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness and itching associated with fungal infections.
• The precise mechanism of action may vary depending on the specific type of fungus being treated.
• Overall, ketoconazole effectively combats various fungal infections by targeting key processes necessary for fungal survival and growth.
