Covate-Mixi Cream is a topical cream manufactured by Canbro Healthcare, designed to address various general health concerns.

Uses

Covate-Mixi Cream is a broad-spectrum antifungal and antibacterial cream. It contains ketoconazole (2% w/w) and clioquinol (iodochlorhydroxyquin) (1% w/w) as its active ingredients.

Ketoconazole, the primary antifungal agent in Covate-Mixi Cream, works by inhibiting the growth of fungi and preventing the formation of fungal cell membranes.
