How Zisavel 100mg Capsule works:
This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as triazole antifungals. It works by targeting the outer protective layer, or cell membrane, of the fungus. Specifically, it blocks a vital enzyme that the fungus needs to produce a compound called ergosterol. Without ergosterol, the fungal cell membrane becomes weak, develops holes, and eventually breaks down. This prevents the fungi from growing, multiplying, and spreading throughout your body, allowing your immune system to successfully clear the remaining infection.
Machanism Of Action Of Zisavel 100mg Capsule:
Zisavel 100mg Capsule contains Isavuconazole, an antifungal medicine that blocks the activity of an enzyme that aids in the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. As a result, the fungus fails to grow and multiply. This kills the infection causing fungus and clears the infection.
