The gel works by inhibiting fungal sterol synthesis, preventing the formation of substances needed for fungal growth, leading to the fungus's death. Fungal infections in pets commonly affect the skin, coat, and nails, with dogs mainly affected by Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and cats primarily by Microsporum canis.
It contains penetration enhancers for better absorption and retention of the active drug, and ingredients to soothe dry, flaky skin and promote faster healing.
