About Itral Ointment 3gm

Itral Ointment 3gm belongs to the class of drugs called antifungals used in the treatment, prevention, and control of fungal infections, flaky discoloured patches on the back and chest and infections in neutropenia (low count of neutrophils, a type of white blood cells) or aids patients. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). 

Itral Ointment 3gm contains Itraconazole which works by destroying the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.
