Zalain Cream

Zalain Cream

Sertaconazole is a new topical antimycotic endowed with a potent fungicide activity, with a broad activity spectrum where the pathogenic yeasts (Candida albicans, C. tropicalis, C. spp., Pityrosporum orbiculare), dermatophytes (Trichopyton, Epidermophyton and Microsporum) and other causing and accompanying agents in skin and mucous membranes infections like the gram-positive germs (Staphylococcus and Streptococcus) are included.

Indications/Uses

Topical treatment of surface skin mycoses, such as dermatophytosis, Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), Tinea cruris (Hebra’s eczema), Tinea corporis (herpes circinatus), Tinea barbae (beard mycosis) and Tinea manus, Candidiasis (Moniliasis) and Pityriasis versicolor (Pityrosporum orbiculare, Malassezia furtur formerly).

Dosage/Direction for Use

Apply the cream one or two times every day (preferably at night or in the morning and at night), mildly and uniformly on the lesion, trying, besides, to embrace 1 cm of sound skin (approximately) around the affected area.
The duration of the treatment to obtain the healing, varies from one patient to another, in function of the etiologic agent and location of the infection. In general, four weeks of treatment are recommended to ensure a complete clinical and microbiologic healing and the non appearance of relapses, though, in many cases, this clinical-microbiological healing appears earlier, between two and four weeks of treatment.
