Mode of action KADEFUNGIN 3 combip.20 g cream+3 vaginal tbl.
How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?
The active ingredient damages the outer shell, the so-called cell membrane of fungi. This envelope thus loses some of its functions, e.g. it becomes more impermeable to nutrients - the cell starves, or cell components leak out and the cell disintegrates. Depending on the concentration of the active ingredient, the fungi are inhibited in their growth and reproduction or killed directly. The active ingredient is also effective against certain bacteria.

What should you be aware of?
- Take care if you are allergic to antifungals (e.g. clotrimazole)!
- There may be drugs with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medicine you are already taking before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally or have been using for some time.
