Clinical Pharmacology

Candide-B - local antifungal, local anti-inflammatory, antiexudative, antipruritic, anti-allergic.

Pharmacodynamics

Clotrimazole is an imidazole derivative, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent. The effect of the drug is associated with impaired 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. Dermatophytes, yeast fungi (genusCandida, Torulopsis glabrata, Rhodotorula), mold fungi, as well as pathogenPityriasis versicolor (lichen colored) 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 in relation toTrichomonas vaginalis.

Beclomethasone dipropionate has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-exudative and antipruritic action. When externally administered beclomethasone dipropionate suppresses inflammatory and allergic skin reactions as well as reactions associated with enhanced proliferation, which leads to a decrease in objective symptoms (erythema, edema, lichenification) and subjective sensations (itching, irritation, pain).
