It is effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it a versatile topical treatment. Cicloderm Cream works by inhibiting fungal cell membrane transport of essential nutrients, leading to fungal cell death and resolution of infection.

This cream formulation is designed for direct application to affected skin areas, ensuring high local concentration and effective relief from itching, redness, and scaling associated with fungal infections. Cicloderm Cream is suitable for infections such as athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and superficial candidiasis.
