Natamycin is a polyene antibiotic that has a fungicidal effect. Its antifungal properties are associated with a violation of the integrity of cell membranes when interacting at the level of sterol synthesis. Most pathogenic fungi, especially Candida albicans, are sensitive to natamycin.
Natamycin is active when applied topically and is not absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes.

Indications for use

Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.

Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding
