How Ketafung Lotion Works

Ketafung Lotion contains an active antifungal agent, Ketafung Lotion , which works by targeting the cell membranes of the fungi causing the infection. Specifically, it blocks the fungi from producing ergosterol, a vital component they need to keep their cell membranes intact and functional. Without this essential compound, holes develop in the fungal cell membranes. This causes the contents of the fungal cells to leak out, ultimately destroying the fungus and stopping the infection from spreading across your skin or scalp.
