Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Podiatrole Work?
- Inhibiting fungal cell membrane synthesis: It disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to increased membrane permeability and ultimately cell death.
- Preventing fungal growth: By inhibiting key enzymes involved in fungal metabolism, it effectively reduces the growth and spread of the infection.
Common Dosages
- Topical solution: Common concentrations may vary, but typically it is formulated for direct application to the affected area.
Typical Dosing
- The usual recommended dosing is to apply a thin layer of Podiatrole to the affected area once daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Treatment duration may vary based on the type and severity of the fungal infection.
