Revisado por Isabelle Baião de Mello Neto (CRF-MG 24309)Como as substâncias do Babymed Tratamento agem?
Resultados de Eficácia
A nistatina combate fungos como a Cândida, sendo pouco absorvida pela pele. Testes mostraram eficácia contra 332 cepas de C. albicans. A associação com óxido de zinco não reduz sua ação antifúngica.
O óxido de zinco protege mecanicamente a pele e acelera a cicatrização, estimulando genes de crescimento e reepitelização. Também possui efeito anti-inflamatório e antibacteriano indireto.
O petrolato forma uma barreira oclusiva que reduz perda de água e protege a pele durante a cicatrização.
Características Farmacológicas
A combinação de nistatina e óxido de zinco forma uma camada protetora que reduz atrito, evita contato com excrementos, trata irritações e combate infecções por Cândida.
Propriedades farmacocinéticas
Absorção mínima da nistatina. Óxido de zinco: 5 mcg/cm².h.
