How It Works?

The mechanism of action varies with the antifungal agent used in the drug. Antifungal medications have various mechanisms of action to fight fungi, including targeting fungal cell membranes and targeting other vital fungal functions.

Besides being antifungal, the powder can aid the absorption of excess moisture and dampness on the skin. Cleanliness and dryness are important elements in the overall management of superficial fungal infections.
