Packaging

Mechanism of action

Antifungal drugs, antibiotics

Polyene antifungal antibiotic, highly active against yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida. The structure of the antibiotic has double bonds that have a high tropism for the sterol structures of the cytoplasmic membrane of fungi, which contributes to the incorporation of the drug molecule into the cell membrane and the formation of a large number of channels through which uncontrolled transport of electrolytes takes place; an increase in osmolarity inside the cell leads to its death. Resistance develops very slowly.

Prevention of fungal lesions in the pre- and postoperative periods during surgical interventions in the gastrointestinal tract.
