Article Content:
    nizoderm cream 15gm is a medication that primarily functions through the active ingredient ketoconazole, an antifungal agent. It disrupts the fungal cell membrane by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a crucial component of the membrane. This process compromises the integrity of the membrane, ultimately leading to cell death. Ketoconazole also possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which may contribute to the alleviation of skin irritation associated with fungal infections, enhancing the therapeutic effects of the cream.
