Used primarily as an antifungal agent in topical medications, it effectively treats skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It works by inhibiting fungal cell wall synthesis, specifically targeting squalene epoxidase, leading to fungal cell death. Due to its long-lasting activity and ability to penetrate skin layers, it is often prescribed in cream or gel forms for once-daily application. Its efficacy against dermatophytes and some molds makes it a preferred choice for persistent or recurrent fungal infections.
