How Nafitdew Cream works?
Nafitdew Cream contains Naftifine, which works by stopping the growth of fungi that cause skin infections, which helps to treat fungal skin infections. It works by blocking the action of a key enzyme known as squalene epoxidase in fungi, which is crucial for making ergosterol and an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. When the production of ergosterol is distrupted it leads to alterations in the fungal cell membrane structure and function, which lead to death of the fungal cells and help to manage superficial fungal infections on the skin.
