Medicine Description miconaz 400mg
Miconaz 400mg Supp is a medication that works by disrupting the integrity of fungal cell membranes. The active ingredient, miconazole, alters the permeability of the fungal cell membrane by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the membrane. This disruption leads to cell lysis and ultimately the death of the fungal cells. Miconazole is effective against a variety of fungi and yeasts, including Candida species, making it particularly useful for treating infections in the mucous membranes.
