Pharmacological action

antifungal agent

ATX Code: D01AE22

Pharmacodynamics

Naftifine is an antifungal agent for external use, belonging to the class of allylamines.

The mechanism of action is associated with the inhibition of squalene-2,3 – – epoxidase, which leads to a decrease in the formation of ergosterol, which is part of the cell wall of the fungus. It is active against dermatophytes, such as trichophyton, epidermophyton and microsporum, molds (Aspergillus spp. ), yeast fungi (Candida spp., Pityrosporum) and other fungi (for example, Sporothrix schenckii).

Naftifine acts as a fungicide against dermatophytes and aspergillus. In relation to yeast fungi, the drug exhibits fungicidal or fungistatic activity, depending on the strain of the microorganism.

It has antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms that can cause secondary bacterial infections. It has an anti-inflammatory effect, which contributes to the rapid disappearance of inflammatory symptoms, especially itching.

Pharmacokinetics

Naftifine quickly penetrates the skin, creating stable antifungal concentrations in its various layers, which makes it possible to use it once a day.

Indications

-fungal infections of the skin and skin folds (tinea corporis, tinea inguinalis), including interdigital mycoses (tinea manum, tinea pedum);

– fungal infections of the nails (onychomycosis);

– candidiasis of the skin;

– pityriasis;

– dermatomycosis (with or without concomitant itching).

Exoderyl® is effective in the treatment of mycoses affecting areas of the skin with hyperkeratosis, as well as in areas of hair growth.
