The antimycotic effect is associated with a violation of the synthesis of ergosterol, which is part of the cell membrane of fungi, which causes a change in its structure and properties and leads to cell lysis.
To clotrimazole sensitive dermatophytes, yeast-like fungi (genus Candida, Torulopsis glabrata, Rhodotorula), mold fungi, as well as the causative agent of multi-colored lichen Pityriasis versicolor and the causative agent of erythrasma.
It has an antimicrobial effect against gram-positive (staphylococci and streptococci) and gram-negative bacteria (Bacteroides, Gardnerella vaginalis), as well as in relation to Trichomonas vaginalis.
