PRODUCT SYNOPSIS

FentiSoft – 600TM is an antifungal champion formulated with 600 mg of fenticonazole. It is a new imidazole derivative, recommended for the management of symptomatic vulvovaginal infections including vulvovaginal candidiasis. It is a potent azole compound, documented to have fungicidal yet broad spectrum activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, Protozoa, and Bacterial sp.

SPECTRUM OF ACTIVITY

Fenticonazole has demonstrated strong antifungal properties against gram-positive microorganisms in vitro, with dermatophytes, yeasts, and dimorphic fungi in clinical studies.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION

Fenticonazole exhibits a distinct anti-mycotic mechanism of action through three mechanisms:

(i) It inhibits Candida growth by blocking secretory aspartate protease.

(i) Cytoplasmic membrane damage; disrupts fungal sterol synthesis by targeting cytochrome P450 enzyme (hemoproteins).

(iii) Exerts antioxidant effects by altering fungal cell structure and function. It weakens the fungus by inhibiting cytochrome oxidases and peroxidases and eliminates the infection. 5

BENEFITS

  1. It is effective in treating superficial fungal and vaginal infections, with high cure rates and low relapse rates. 5
  2. Fenticonazole may be the best topical option as an alternative to multi-agent therapy when treating mixed infections containing mycotic, bacterial, dermatophyte, and/or Trichomonas species.                    
  3. It is fast-acting; after starting treatment, clinical efficacy is usually seen in a few days.6
  4. A 600 mg dose of fenticonazole in ovules significantly reduced 90% of vaginal yeast infections in women as per study reports.7
