pharmachologic effect

Clotrimazole tablets are a broad-spectrum antifungal agent for topical use. The antimycotic effect of the active substance (imidazole derivative) is associated with impaired synthesis of ergosterol, which is part of the cell membrane of fungi, which changes the permeability of the membrane and causes the subsequent lysis of the cell. In small concentrations, it acts fungistatically, and 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. Effective against dermatophytes, yeast-like and mold fungi, as well as the pathogen of multi-colored depriving Pityriasis versicolor (Malazessia furfur) and the causative agent of erythrasma. It has antimicrobial action against gram-positive (staphylococcus, streptococcus) and gram-negative bacteria (Bacteroides, Gardiierella vaginalis), as well as against Trichomonas vaginalis.
