Composition

The active ingredient miconazole is contained in a concentration of 20 mg.The solution contains Macrogol 400, Macrogol 1000 and purified water as excipients.

Mode of action

The active ingredient miconazole interferes with the metabolism of the fungi and causes damage to the structure of the fungi.The structure of the outer shell of the mushrooms, the so-called cell membrane, is changed.This shell becomes more impermeable to nutrients, causing the cell to starve.Depending on the active ingredient concentration, the growth and reproduction of the fungi is inhibited or they die directly due to additional damage to the cell interior.

Important notes

Be careful if you are allergic to fungal agents or the solvent polyethylene glycol.Miconazole is for external use only and must not be taken.Avoid contact with eyes.If hypersensitivity reactions or irritation occur, treatment should be discontinued.
