NAFTIN (naftifine hydrochloride)
NAFTIN is indicated for the treatment of Tinea Pedis.
How NAFTIN Works
Naftifine is an allylamine antifungal that works by selectively inhibiting the enzyme squalene epoxidase. This action interferes with fungal sterol biosynthesis, specifically decreasing ergosterol levels (an essential component of fungal cell membranes) and causing a toxic accumulation of squalene within the fungal cell, resulting in fungicidal activity.
