Sertaconazole, sold under the brand name Ertaczo among others, is an antifungal medication used to treat athlete's foot, ringworm, pityriasis versicolor, and candidiasis of the skin.[1] It is applied to the area of infection twice per day for 4 weeks.[1]

Common side effects include dry skin, burning skin, and inflamed skin.[1] Allergic reactions may occur.[1] It is in the azole class of medication.[1]

Sertaconazole was approved for medical use in the United States in 2003.[1] In the United States a 60 gram tube costs about 830 USD as of 2021.[2] This makes it significantly more expensive than generic and over the counter options.[3]
