Medicinal Benefits:

Canditral SB Capsule is an antifungal used to treat fungal infections of the mouth, throat, toenails, fingernails or lungs. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Canditral SB Capsule inhibits the production of ergosterol (a main component of the cell membranes of fungi). This weakens and damages the fungal cell membranes, causing the main components of fungal cells to leak out. Thus, it kills fungi and clears the fungal infection.
