Medicinal Benefits

Loceryl Cream is an antifungal that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of nails and skin such as ringworm, jock itch and athlete’s foot, seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaky skin on face, scalp, chest, upper back, or ears) and pityriasis (a type of skin rash that causes scaly, discoloured patches on chest, back, legs and arms). The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Loceryl Cream causes holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thereby, clears fungal infection and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling and itching of the skin caused due to infections.

About Loceryl Cream

Loceryl Cream belongs to a class of drugs called 'antifungal' primarily used to treat fungal nail infections. Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and scaling of the skin.

Loceryl Cream contains 'Amorolfine' that works by stopping producing a chemical called 'ergosterol' in fungi that causes nail infection. Without ergosterol, the fungus cannot survive. As a result, infection-causing fungi die.

Use Loceryl Cream as suggested by your doctor. Common side effects of Loceryl Cream may include dry skin, itching, redness, or burning sensation of the skin. Most of these side effects of Loceryl Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Loceryl Cream. If you use Loceryl Cream in topical form, avoid smoking or going near naked flames as Loceryl Cream catches fire and burns easily. If you are using any steroidal cream, lotion or ointment, inform your doctor before taking Loceryl Cream to adjust the dose.
