Indications of Clopirox 100 ml
Antifungal shampoo is called Clopirox. Fungal infections of the skin and nails are treated with it. It treats the infection by preventing the growth of fungus.
Pharmacology
Ciclopirox Olamine is a synthetic broad-spectrum antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of pathogenic dermatophytes, yeasts, and Malassezia furfur. Ciclopirox olamine has fungicidal activity against isolates of Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton, Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, Microsporum canis, and Candida albicans in vitro. The mechanism of action of ciclopirox olamine has been studied mainly in Candida albicans. It is speculated that the inhibition of the growth or death of fungal cells mediated by ciclopirox is mainly due to the in vitro cellular depletion of some essential substrates and/or ions, and this effect is due to the blocking of their uptake from the culture medium. In addition to its broad-spectrum antifungal effect, ciclopirox also exerts antibacterial activity against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The anti-inflammatory effect of Ciclopirox has been confirmed in human polymorphonuclear cells, where Ciclopirox has inhibited the synthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Ciclopirox may also show its anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the formation of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase.
