🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines two active ingredients with distinct mechanisms. Fluconazole selectively inhibits fungal cytochrome P450-dependent 14-alpha-demethylase, blocking the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, which is essential for fungal cell membrane integrity. This leads to increased membrane permeability and cell death. Tinidazole is a prodrug that enters susceptible microorganisms and undergoes reductive activation of its nitro group, producing reactive intermediates that damage DNA and inhibit nucleic acid synthesis, leading to cell death in protozoa and anaerobic bacteria.
