Fenticonazole is a broad-spectrum antimycotic agent with activity against dermatophytes and yeasts. Fenticonazole has also been shown to exhibit antibacterial action, with a spectrum of activity that includes bacteria commonly associated with vaginal infections. The main mechanism of action of fenticonazole is based on the inhibition of the synthesis of aspartate acid proteinase.
