What is Kuric?
Kuric (for the skin) is an antifungal medicine used to treat infections such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm, and seborrhea (dry, flaking skin or dandruff).
Kuric is also used to treat a fungal infection called pityriasis, which causes scaly discolored patches on the skin of the neck, chest, arms, or legs.
Kuric may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
