Fungi Eye Drop
Fluconazole Eye Drops 0.3%w/v
-
Mode of action
- Fungi 0.3% Eye Drop is an antifungal medication.
- The active ingredient in this topical ophthalmic medicine is a triazole antifungal which works by inhibiting a certain fungal enzyme,
- which in turn prevents lanosterol from being converted to ergosterol.
- As ergosterol is considered to be a vital component of the cytoplasmic membrane, disrupting its production destroys the fungal cells and ultimately kills the fungi, leading to the eventual treatment of the infection.
