Zalain 2 % Cream 10 GM is applied topically.

Zalain 2 % Cream 10 GM contains Sertaconazole (2%), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Cytochrome P450: Sertaconazole hinders a crucial enzyme in fungi called Cytochrome P450. This enzyme plays a significant role in producing ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane.

• Damages Fungal Cells: By blocking the synthesis of ergosterol, sertaconazole causes damage to the cell membrane of the fungi. This damage results in leakage of cytoplasmic contents from the fungal cells, which assists in managing fungal infections.

• Store Zalain 2 % Cream 10 GM at a controlled room temperature of 20°C to 25°C.

• Avoid exposing the cream to excessive light or high humidity.

• Keep this medical product out of the reach and sight of children.

• Maintain good foot hygiene to manage tinea pedis effectively. This includes drying your feet thoroughly after washing, especially between the toes, and changing socks regularly to avoid damp conditions in which fungi thrive.

• Opt for footwear that allows your feet to breathe, reducing the chance of fungal growth. Avoid tight shoes and synthetic material socks as they can create a warm, moist environment, which can be a risk factor for development of fungal infections.
