How CANESTEN V6 TABLET Works
CANESTEN V6 TABLET works by managing fungal growth. Clotrimazole works by blocking the production of enzymes responsible for the growth of fungal cells. This inhibition results in the breakage of cell membranes and fungal cell abnormalities, finally leading to alterations in the membrane-based activity of fungus. These lead to fungal cell death and the management of further fungal growth.
