Miconazole Nitrate(Cat No.:A000397)is an antifungal agent commonly used to treat a variety of fungal infections, including athlete’s foot, ringworm, and yeast infections. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to membrane disruption and cell death. Available in topical formulations, Miconazole Nitrate is effective against both dermatophytes and yeast pathogens. Its broad-spectrum activity makes it a preferred treatment for localized skin infections. Additionally, it is also used in oral forms for treating fungal infections in the mouth and throat.
