Pharmacological action
Candide-B – local antifungal, anti-inflammatory local, antiexudative, antipruritic, antiallergic.
Pharmacodynamics
Clotrimazole is an imidazole derivative, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent.
The effect of the drug is associated with a violation of the synthesis of ergosterol, which is part of the cell membrane of fungi, which causes a change in its structure and properties and leads to cell lysis. Clotrimazole is susceptible to dermatophytes, yeast fungi (genus Candida, Torulopsis glabrata, Rhodotorula), mold fungi, as well as the causative agent of Pityriasis versicolor (multi-colored lichen) and the causative agent of erythrasma.
In addition, it has an antimicrobial effect against gram-positive (staphylococci and streptococci) and gram-negative bacteria (Bacteroides, Gardnerella vaginalis), as well as against Trichomonas vaginalis.
beclomethasone dipropionate has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antiexudative and antipruritic effects.
With external use of beclomethasone, dipropionate suppresses inflammatory and allergic skin reactions, as well as reactions associated with increased proliferation, which leads to a decrease in objective symptoms (erythema, edema, lichenification) and subjective sensations (itching, irritation, pain).
