Frequently asked questions
Does Myconat Eye Drop cause cancer?
Myconat Eye Drop has not been shown to have carcinogenic effects in humans or animals.
Where does Myconat Eye Drop come from?
Myconat Eye Drop is an antibiotic derived from Streptomyces natalensis, a microorganism commonly found in soil samples.
How does Myconat Eye Drop work?
Myconat Eye Drop belongs to the class of tetraene polyene antibiotics. It functions by binding to the fungal cell wall, altering the permeability of the cell wall and causing depletion of cellular contents. This results in reduced growth and proliferation of fungi.
Why does Myconat Eye Drop not affect bacteria?
Myconat Eye Drop exerts its effect on fungi specifically due to its mechanism of action targeting the sterol moiety present in fungal cell membranes. This interaction is absent in bacterial cells, which lack this sterol structure, thereby preventing any impact on bacterial growth.
