Pharmacological effects of clotrimazole vaginal tablets

Pharmacological effects:
Clotrimazole produces an antifungal effect by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Inhibition of ergosterol synthesis results in impaired structure and function of the cytoplasmic membrane.
Clotrimazole has a spectrum of antifungal activity in vivo and in vitro, including skin fungi, yeasts, and molds.
Under appropriate experimental conditions, the minimum inhibitory bacteria concentration range for these types of fungi is below 0.062-4 (-8) g / ml substrate. Depending on the concentration at the site of infection, clotrimazole works by inhibiting fungi or fungicidal, depending on the concentration of clotrimazole at the site of infection. The in vitro activity of the drug is to limit the proliferation of fungal components, and fungal spores are only slightly sensitive to the drug.
In addition to its antifungal effect, this product also produces Trichomonas vaginalis, Gram-positive microorganisms (Streptococcus / Staphylococcus) and Gram-negative microorganisms (Bacteroides / Vagina genobacterium) effect.
In vitro, clotrimazole has an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of Corynebacterium and Gram-positive cocci other than Enterococcus, with a bacteriostatic concentration of 0.5-10 g / ml substrate. When the concentration reaches 100 g / ml, it can play a role in killing Trichomonas.
Primary resistant variants are rare in sensitive fungal species. To date, only sporadic cases of secondary resistance to sensitive fungi have been observed under treatment conditions.
Toxicology research:
In various animals, toxicological studies using intravaginal or topical methods have shown that the vagina and the site of the drug are well tolerated.
Preclinical data show that according to routine studies of toxicity, genotoxicity, and reproductive toxicity performed after single doses and repeated administration, the drug has no particular harm to humans.

Pharmacokinetics of Clotrimazole Vaginal Tablets

Pharmacokinetic studies performed after vaginal administration have shown that only a small amount of clotrimazole can be absorbed (3% and 3% -10% of the administered dose, respectively). The clotrimazole that has been absorbed is rapidly metabolized in the liver to form non-pharmacologically active metabolites, resulting in a peak plasma concentration of clotrimazole of less than 10 ng / ml after vaginal administration of 0.5 g, indicating that clotrimazole is administered intravaginally. No measurable systemic effects or side effects occur afterwards.
