Oflomikol, 15 ml

Sertaconazole is an antifungal agent derived from imidazole. It has fungistatic and fungicidal action. The mechanism of action of sertaconazole is inhibition of ergosterol synthesis and increased permeability of the cell membrane of the fungus, which leads to lysis of the fungus cell.

It is active against dermatophytes (Trychophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton), yeasts of the genus Candida and Malassezia (formerly Pityrosporum). It has antimicrobial action against Gram-positive (staphylococci, streptococci) bacteria.
