Itracoe 1 % Dusting Powder 75 GM contains Itraconazole (1 %), which acts on the body as follows:

• Inhibits Ergosterol Synthesis: Itraconazole blocks the production of ergosterol, a key component in the cell membranes of fungi. This process disrupts the structure of these membranes.

• Destroys Fungal Cells: By disrupting these protective cell membranes, Itraconazole effectively leads to the destruction of fungal cells, thereby managing the infection.

• Halts Growth and Spread: The active ingredient also prevents further growth and spread of fungi responsible for the skin infection, helping your skin heal faster from the infection.

• To help manage fungal infections, maintain good personal hygiene. Regularly clean and dry your skin, especially areas prone to fungal growth like the feet and groin.
