How does the Drug work
◉Clotrimazole 100 mg is an antifungal medication that works by disrupting the growth and reproduction of fungi. It is used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and yeast infections.
◉ Clotrimazole works by inhibiting the production of ergosterol, a component of fungal cell membranes that is essential for their survival. Without sufficient ergosterol, fungal cells become weakened and are eventually destroyed by the immune system.
◉ When applied topically, clotrimazole is absorbed into the skin and nails, where it can penetrate the infected area and target the fungal cells. It is also available in oral and vaginal formulations for systemic and local treatment, respectively.
◉ It is important to use clotrimazole as directed by a healthcare provider or as indicated on the medication label to ensure its effectiveness and minimize the risk of side effects.
