Medicinal Benefits of Azole 1% Cream

LULICONAZOLE is an antifungal that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. LULICONAZOLE causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thereby, clears fungal infection and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling and itching of the skin caused due to infections.
