Mizol gel tube, 30 g

Naphtifine is an antifungal agent for external use belonging to the class of allilamines. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of squalene-23-epoxidase, which leads to a decrease in the formation of ergosterol which is part of the cell wall of the fungus. It is active against dermatophytes such as Trichophyton epidermophyton and microsporum molds (Aspergillus spp.) yeast fungi (Candida spp. Pityrosporum) and other fungi (such as Sporothrix schenckii).

Against dermatophytes and aspergillus naphthifin acts fungicide. Against yeast fungi the drug has fungicidal or fungistatic activity depending on the strain of the microorganism. It has antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms that can cause secondary bacterial infections. It has anti-inflammatory activity that causes rapid disappearance of inflammatory symptoms, especially itching.
Pharmacokinetics:

When applied topically naphthifin quickly penetrates into the skin creating stable antifungal concentrations in its various layers making it possible to use once a day.

In addition, it eliminates the side effects of naftifine, such as dryness, redness, etc.
