Used primarily as an antifungal agent in the treatment of skin infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, leading to cell death. Commonly found in topical creams, sprays, and powders for dermatological use. Also effective against certain yeast infections like cutaneous candidiasis. Occasionally used in veterinary medicine for fungal infections in animals.
