- Clotrimazole acts against fungi by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Inhibition of ergosterol synthesis leads to structural and functional impairment of the fungal cytoplasmic membrane.
- Clotrimazole has a broad antimycotic spectrum of action in vitro and in vivo, which includes dermatophytes, yeasts and moulds.
Indications
- Infections of the genital region (vaginitis) and infectious vaginal discharge caused by fungi (usually Candida), trichomonads and superinfections caused by clotrimazole-sensitive bacteria.
