Candide, powder 1% 30 g

Candide – a broad spectrum antifungal.

Pharmacodynamics

Antimycotic effect of the active ingredient – clotrimazole (imidazole derivative) is associated with disruption of ergosterol synthesis, a component of the cell membrane of fungi, which changes membrane permeability and causes subsequent cell lysis.

In small concentrations it is fungistatic, in large concentrations it is fungicidal, and not only on proliferating cells.

In fungicidal concentrations it interacts with mitochondrial and peroxidase enzymes resulting in the increase of hydrogen peroxide concentration to the toxic level, which also contributes to the destruction of fungus cells.

Effective against dermatophytes, yeast-like and mold fungi as well as Pityriasis versicolor and erythrazma pathogen.
