Medicine Description mykotral-vag-supp- 400mg
Mykotral Vaginal 400 mg 3 supp is a medication that contains miconazole nitrate, which belongs to a class of antifungal agents known as imidazoles. Miconazole works by disrupting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This inhibition leads to increased membrane permeability and ultimately causes cell lysis, effectively eliminating the fungal pathogens responsible for vaginal infections. By targeting the fungal cell wall, miconazole helps to alleviate symptoms associated with infections, such as itching, burning, and abnormal discharge, while also promoting the return of normal flora in the vaginal area.
