Mode of actions

Oxiconazole is a man-made antifungal medication from the azole family. It usually stops fungi from growing, but at higher doses, it can actually kill them. It works by blocking the production of ergosterol, a substance that fungi need to build their cell membranes. Oxiconazole can also fight some types of bacteria, specifically certain aerobic gram-positive bacteria.
