Exoderil Cream 1% 30g

Mechanism of action

Exoderil - antifungal drug for external use from the group of allylamines. The mechanism of action is associated with inhibition of ergosterol synthesis.
Naftifine has activity against dermatophytes such as the fungus of the genus Trichophyton, epidermophyte and microsporum, yeast fungi (Aspergillus species) and other fungi (for example, Sporotrix Schencki). In relation to dermatophytes and Aspergillus, naftifine acts fungicide in vitro. In relation to yeast, the drug exhibits fungicidal and fungistatic activity depending on the strain of the microorganism. In addition to the antifungal effect, naftifine has antibacterial activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens, which are often found in combination with fungal infections.
In clinical conditions, it was found that naftifine has an anti-inflammatory effect, which contributes to the rapid disappearance of the symptoms of inflammation, especially itching.
Since EXODERYL penetrates the skin quickly, creating stable antifungal concentrations in its various layers, it is possible to use it topically once a day.
