How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient damages the outer shell, the so-called cell membrane of fungi. This envelope thus loses some of its functions, e.g. it becomes more impermeable to nutrients - the cell starves. Cell components can also leak out and the cell subsequently dissolves. Depending on the concentration of the active ingredient, the fungi are inhibited in their growth and reproduction or killed directly. In addition, the active ingredient accumulates inside the fungal cell and damages the organs there.
