Pharmacological action

Pharmacotherapy group

Antifungal agent

ATX code

G01AA

Pharmacodynamics :

Polyene antifungal antibiotic is highly active against yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida. The structure of the antibiotic contains double bonds that have a high tropicity to the sterol structures of the fungal cell membrane, which contributes to the incorporation of the drug molecule into the cell membrane and the formation of a large number of channels through which uncontrolled electrolyte transport is carried out; an increase in osmolarity inside the cell leads to its death. Resistance develops very slowly.

Pharmacokinetics:

When applied topically, it is practically not absorbed through the mucous membranes.

Indications

Treatment and prevention (with long-term local antimicrobial therapy) of candidiasis of the vaginal mucosa.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

The drug is contraindicated during pregnancy. Use during breastfeeding is possible since the drug is practically not absorbed through the mucous membranes, so it does not penetrate into breast milk.

Side effects
