Mode of Action of Candid Cl Suppos
How Does It Work?
- Candid-CL vaginal suppository contains clindamycin and clotrimazole as active substances.
- Clindamycin works by attaching to the genetic material of bacteria and preventing the production of substances required for their growth which controls their growth and reproduction.
- Clotrimazole works by attaching to the covering of the fungus cells. It destroys the covering and makes it porous. This slows the growth of the fungus and eventually kills it.
