Candidox Cream contains ciclopirox olamine (1%) and works in the following ways:

• Fungicidal Activity: Ciclopirox olamine disrupts fungal cell membrane permeability and inhibits the uptake of essential compounds by these cells, preventing fungi's growth.

• Interference with Energy Production: The medicine interferes with mitochondrial electron transport processes in fungi cells, affecting their energy production.

• Anti-inflammatory Properties: Ciclopirox also has anti-inflammatory properties, which help reduce inflammation caused by fungal infections.

• Skin Penetration: The cream formulation enables ciclopirox to penetrate various layers of your skin, such as the stratum corneum, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and nail plates, providing a fungicidal effect and preventing the spread of infection.
