Sertaconazole is used for:
Treating athlete's foot infection that occurs between the toes in patients with a healthy immune system. Sertaconazole may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Sertaconazole is an imidazole antifungal. It works by blocking the formation of the fungal cell wall, which results in the death of the fungus.
Do NOT use Sertaconazole if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Sertaconazole or to other imidazoles (eg, ketoconazole)
- you have a weakened immune system
- the skin in the area to be treated is irritated for other reasons
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
