Medicine Description micoban- 100mg
Micoban 100mg Supp is a medication that combines the active ingredients mebendazole and miconazole. Mebendazole works by inhibiting the synthesis of microtubules in parasitic worms, effectively disrupting their glucose uptake and leading to their death. Miconazole, on the other hand, is an antifungal agent that targets fungal cell membranes by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This dual-action approach makes Micoban effective not only against parasitic infections but also provides a topical solution for fungal infections when indicated.
