Action:
Exoderil is an antifungal agent for external applications. The active substance of the product is naftifine. Naftifina is active against dermatophyte skin fungi, e.g. trichophyton, micro spoon and epidermophyte species), yeasts (Candida species, Pityriasis versicolor), fungi (Aspergillus species) and other fungi (eg Sporothrix schenkii). In the case of dermatophytes and Aspergillus species, naftifine is a fungicide. in vitro. In the case of yeasts, naftifine is either fungicidal or fungistatic depending on the type of strain involved. In addition to its antifungal action, naftifine also has antibacterial activity acting on a wide range of gram-positive or gram-negative microorganisms that frequently occur in association with fungal disease. From a clinical point of view, naftifine has also been shown to have an intrinsic anti-inflammatory action, which leads to a rapid reduction of inflammatory symptoms, especially pruritus. Because it penetrates rapidly into the skin and is present in persistent antifungal concentrations in different layers of the skin, Exoderil can be administered only once a day in local applications.
