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.
