How Eberconazole works
Eberconazole is an antifungal medication.
It functions by inhibiting the formation of ergosterol, a critical component in fungal cell membranes. Eberconazole obstructs the action of specific enzymes involved in ergosterol synthesis, leading to disruptions in the structure and function of the fungal cell membrane. This alteration increases the permeability of the membrane, eventually causing the disintegration and death of susceptible fungi.
