How does the active ingredient of the medicine work?

The active ingredient damages the outer envelope, 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, or cell components leak out and the cell dissolves. Depending on the concentration of the active ingredient, the fungi are inhibited in their growth and reproduction or killed directly. The active ingredient is also effective against certain bacteria.
