Eberkem Cream

Eberkem Cream is used in the treatment of fungal or yeast infections of the skin such as athlete’s foot (affects toes), jock itch (affects the groin area), candidiasis (affects mouth, throat, gut, and vagina), and ringworm (affects skin or the scalp)­­­­. Athlete’s foot, jock itch and ringworm are fungal infections closely related to each other, whereas candidiasis is a yeast infection caused by Candida albicans. These infections are usually seen in people with weak immune systems. They can spread through skin-to-skin contact.

Eberkem Cream contains Eberconazole is a potent antifungal agent used to treat 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. Eberkem Cream causes 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 by infections.

Eberkem Cream is only for external use. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose depending on your medical condition. Avoid contact of Eberkem Cream with nose, mouth or eyes. Avoid contact of Eberkem Cream with nose, ears, mouth or eyes.
