Indications and Usage for Fungizyl AC

Fungizyl AC™ is indicated for the treatment of fungal infections of the skin, including athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It also helps with superficial skin infections caused by Candida species. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) enhances the penetration of Miconazole Nitrate through the skin, improving antifungal effectiveness.

Fungizyl AC - Clinical Pharmacology

Miconazole Nitrate: An antifungal agent that inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes, resulting in increased cell permeability and leakage of cellular contents. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO): A penetration enhancer that increases the absorption of Miconazole Nitrate through the skin, allowing for deeper antifungal action.

PHARMACOKINETICS:

When applied topically, miconazole nitrate exhibits minimal systemic absorption. Most of the drug remains on the skin surface and provides localized antifungal activity.
