FAQ

Will just applying Ebermac relieve my infection?

Ebermac is prescribed when the fungal infection is superficial. It is not always true, but sometimes superficial fungal infections need oral antifungal therapy too. So the doctor decides whether the patient needs just Ebermac or a combination of Ebermac and oral medicine depending on the severity and site of the fungal infection.

What is Ebermac? What is it used for?

Ebermac is an antifungal medicine applied on the skin to treat superficial fungal infections. It can be used in fungal infections caused by dermatophytes (fungus causing ringworm like infections) and yeast. Ebermac acts by preventing the growth of the fungus by stopping formation of essential components of the fungal membrane responsible for structural and functional changes leading to abnormal cell wall synthesis, hence halting the growth of the fungal infection.
