Description
Canespor (Bifonazole, Urea) Set 10 g
Ingredients
Active Ingredients: Bifonazole, Urea
Mechanism of Action
Canespor combines the antifungal properties of bifonazole with the hydrating effects of urea. Bifonazole inhibits the growth of various fungi by disrupting their cell membranes, leading to eventual cell death. Urea softens and hydrates the skin, promoting the healing process.
Pharmacological Properties
Bifonazole acts by interfering with the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption weakens the membrane structure, ultimately causing fungal cell death. Urea, a keratolytic agent, enhances skin hydration by breaking down keratin, thereby improving the penetration of bifonazole into the affected tissues.
Indications for Use
Canespor is indicated for the treatment of fungal skin infections, including athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch.
Contraindications
Avoid using Canespor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Additionally, prevent contact with eyes and mucous membranes to prevent irritation and adverse reactions.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Canespor may include skin irritation, redness, or itching at the application site. If any severe reactions occur, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
Usage Instructions
