Medicinal Benefits

Ebercos Cream contains Eberconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal that is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin such as dermatophytosis (a red, itchy, scaly, circular rash), candidiasis (affects mouth, throat, gut, and vagina), and pityriasis (a scaly rash that sweeps outward like the branches of a pine tree). The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Ebercos Cream works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Thus, it clears fungal infections and provides relief from cracking, burning, scaling, and itching of the skin caused due to infections. Ebercos Cream is also effective against gram-positive bacteria and fights against cutaneous mycoses and secondary infections.
