Vaginal Antifungal Agent
  • The active component of  Lomefent® is Fenticonazole nitrate that is an imidazole antifungal agent with antimicrobial activity against some gram-Positive bacteria and is therefore indicated in mycosis associated with bacterial super infections.
  • Fenticonazole nitrate exerts fungistatic and fungicidal actions on dermatophytes (responsible for most mycotic skin infections) pathogenic yeasts, dimorphous fungi and moulds.
