Clotrimazole tablets

Function and Efficacy

This product belongs to the azole antifungal drug, and it can inhibit the process of Candida albicans transforming from spores to invasive hyphae. This product has a broad-spectrum antifungal activity, and has good antibacterial effects on Epidermophyton, Trichophyton, Aspergillus, Chromatid fungi, Cryptococcus and Candida. It also has certain antibacterial activity against Sporothrix schenckii, Blastomyces dermatitidis, Coccidioides and Histoplasma. This product has poor effects on Aspergillus, some dark spores, Mucor and other genus. This product inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol, the main steroid of fungal cell membrane, by interfering with the activity of cytochrome P-450, damaging the fungal cell membrane and changing its permeability, resulting in leakage of important intracellular substances. This product can inhibit the biosynthesis of triglycerides and phospholipids of fungi, inhibit the activity of oxidases and peroxidases, and cause the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in cells, leading to cell submicrostructure degeneration and cell necrosis.
