Candistan lotion 1% 20 ml

Tradename

Candistan

Composition

Each 20 ml of lotion contains:

Clotrimazole 0.2 g

Auxiliary components:

Isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol.

Properties

Broad-spectrum antifungal agent for external use. The action of clotrimazole is associated with a violation of the synthesis of ergosterol, which is part of the cell membrane of fungi, which changes the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane and causes subsequent cell lysis. In small concentrations it acts fungistatically, in large concentrations it is fungicidal, and not only on proliferating cells. In fungicidal concentrations, it interacts with mitochondrial and peroxidase enzymes, resulting in an increase in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide to a toxic level, which also contributes to the destruction of fungal cells

Indications

Kandistan should be used to treat all fungal skin infections caused by dermatophytes, yeast, mold and other fungi. It is especially suitable for use on hairy skin and for fungal infections of the outer ear (otitis externa) and middle ear (otomycosis).

Method of administration and dosage:
