Revisado por Isabelle Baião de Mello Neto (CRF-MG 24309)Como os ingredientes do Benzevit funcionam?
Resultados do remédio
A nistatina combate fungos como a Candida. Age diretamente na pele com baixa absorção. O óxido de zinco forma barreira protetora e ajuda na cicatrização. Juntos, protegem contra irritações causadas por fraldas e combatem infecções fúngicas.
Características do medicamento
