Sertacream is a 2% antifungal cream for topical treatment of fungal skin infections. These include dermatophytosis, Tinea pedis, Tinea capitis, Tinea cruris, Tinea corporis, Tinea barbae and Tinea manus. It is also used for candidiasis (moniliasis) and Pityriasis versicolor (Malassezia furfur, Pityrosporum orbiculare).
The active ingredient is sertaconazole nitrate. Use is reserved for adult patients. Apply the cream lightly and evenly to the affected areas once or twice a day, covering about 1 cm of the healthy skin around them. The amount depends on the size of the affected area.
Treatment length varies from patient to patient, depending on the causative agent and the location of the infection. Four weeks of treatment are generally recommended for complete healing, although in many cases clinical and microbiological healing occurs between the second and fourth week.
