Scientific Evidence

Additional Information

Pharmacological Effects

Natamycin works by binding to the fungal cell membrane, disrupting its structure and function. This leads to the leakage of essential cellular components, ultimately causing the death of the fungus. The cream’s antifungal action helps in relieving symptoms and treating the underlying fungal infection.

The study concluded that Primafungyn cream is a valuable option for the management of such infections.
