Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Miconazole Nitrate 2% w/w
Mechanism of Action
Miconazole Nitrate works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption leads to increased membrane permeability, causing leakage of cellular contents and ultimately resulting in the death of fungal cells. It also exhibits some antibacterial activity against certain gram-positive bacteria.
