Climbazole is a new generation antifungal drug. No one is safe from fungal infections. Do not think that only those who do not take care of their hygiene are susceptible to this disease. When the first symptoms appear, the fungus is often ignored. They seem harmless: slight flaking, slight itching, redness.
However, if treatment is not started in time, serious complications and even deterioration of the general condition due to decreased immunity and blood poisoning are possible.
How does climbazole work?
A fungal infection usually affects the feet, hands, nails and scalp. It interferes with the normal life of the infected person. Excessive sweating, unpleasant odor, pain, severe itching - all these are symptoms of mycosis.
It is very difficult to get rid of this disease. The difficulty is that, in most cases, treatment gives short-term results. After some time, the fungus returns. To prevent this from happening, leading dermatologists recommend an effective remedy for infection - climbazole.
What it is? Why is it considered one of the most effective remedies? This drug appeared on the pharmaceutical market relatively recently, but has already established itself as the best drug for mycosis. It contains chlorinated azole, essential oils, sulsena, vitamins and farnesol.
A unique combination of active substances allows you to solve several problems associated with fungal infection:
- relieves irritation and itching;
- has an antiseptic effect;
- heals wounds and cracks;
- eliminates inflammation and redness;
- eliminates unpleasant odor;
- promotes hydration of the dermis;
- quickly restores the skin and nail plates;
- exfoliates dead skin cells;
- nourishes the dermis and nails
Climbazole for the treatment of mycosis of the feet and nails is available in the form of a paste in a 75 ml tube. Sulsen cream with climbazole is a white mass with a yellowish tint. The drug has a pleasant menthol aroma.
If the scalp is affected, use anti-fungal shampoo. It is sold in bottles of 150 and 250 ml, packed in a cardboard box. Inside the package are detailed instructions for use. The drug looks like a pink liquid with a pleasant smell and a thick consistency. There is also sulsen hair shampoo with climbazole.
How to use climbazole
To achieve greater effectiveness, you must thoroughly clean and dry the skin before use. Then the ointment is applied in a thin layer to the affected area and the area around it.
Particular attention is paid to the interdigital space. The course of treatment lasts 2 weeks. The skin is treated with cream twice a day.
Shampoo for treating fungus is used in the same way as a regular hair product. Apply the preparation to damp hair and foam it, massaging it into the scalp. To achieve greater effect, it is recommended to leave climbazole on your hair for 3-5 minutes.
After the specified period, the antifungal agent is completely washed off. To get rid of the infection, it is enough to treat your hair with the drug 3-4 times a week for a month.
Contraindications and overdose
Climbazole contains substances that are absolutely harmless to the body. However, like any other drug, it should not be used without reading the instructions. The annotation for the antifungal agent states that it is contraindicated for people suffering from hepatitis and other liver diseases. Under no circumstances should climbazole be used by pregnant women and children under 5 years of age.
There were no cases of drug overdose. However, if unpleasant symptoms appear, you should immediately consult a doctor. It's important to remember that antifungal drug is used externally only!
To avoid harmful effects on the liver, it is recommended to abstain from alcoholic beverages during treatment with climbazole.
Where to buy climbazole
You can purchase climbazole in city pharmacies and at points of sale of medicines on the Internet. The price of the cream is affordable for consumers with different income levels. The drug in its pure form costs around 250 rubles, but shampoos with the addition of climbazole will cost much more - up to one and a half thousand rubles.
Smooth skin and scalp are among the most common reasons why people visit a dermatologist.
Mycosis is contagious and unpleasant in terms of symptoms. In addition, the external signs of an advanced infectious disease repel others. There are many different ways to defeat the disease, and one of them is the use of the antifungal drug Climbazole (crinipan).
Composition and release form of Climbazole
Climbazole contains essential oils, vitamins, selenium disulfide and farnesol. All substances are safe for the body, they reduce the likelihood of side effects.
Climbazole is produced in two forms:
The active substance in both forms of the drug is chlorinated azole, a compound of imidazole and triazole. The drugs are effective against the fungi Microsporum, Trichophytum, Candida and Pityrosporum. Climbazole has a fungistatic effect on pathogens of mycoses and onychomycosis, i.e., it slows down the functions of growth and division of the mycelium.
The systemic effect of the antimycotic is due to the ability of the components to enter the bloodstream through the skin. Substances are processed by the liver within 24 to 48 hours. They do not have carcinogenic or toxic properties.
Climbazole shampoo stimulates the growth of hair affected by fungus. The cream moisturizes the body and strengthens nails, accelerates the regeneration of microcracks and eliminates the unpleasant odor that appears due to the activity of pathogenic strains.
How to treat fungus with Climbazole
The instructions for treating fungus suggest using Climbazole only externally.
Cream
Shampoo
If the fungus has become active on the scalp, shampoo is used for treatment. A small amount of Climbazole is applied to damp hair and foamed. After 3 minutes, the strands are thoroughly washed with water.
Course treatment of mycosis involves using shampoo 2–3 times a week for the first two weeks of therapy. From the beginning of the third week and for 1 - 2 months, wash your hair with Climbazole 1 - 2 times a week. The course is repeated as necessary.
Contraindications to the use of Climbazole are diseases of the liver and bile ducts, viral and chronic hepatitis, pregnancy, lactation and children under 5 years of age.

Prevention of fungus on nails
Remember that following basic hygiene rules will help you avoid fungus. Never give your towels or other personal items to strangers. Always bring your own rubber flip-flops to the pool or sauna.
After bathing, dry your feet thoroughly, including the areas between the toes. Change your socks and tights daily and keep your feet dry. Periodically disinfect closed shoes with special means.
Climbazole has an effective effect on fungal microflora. Thanks to its composition, it inhibits the reproduction and growth of pathogenic fungi. The drug is prescribed in the presence of diseases such as:
- Trichophytosis (ringworm);
- Onychomycosis (nail fungus);
The drug can also be prescribed to prevent the risk of fungus in cases of very weak immunity.
Composition of the drug
The main component of the drug is chlorinated azole, which is formed as a result of the combination of fungicidal substances such as triazole and imidazole. In addition, the drug contains the following components:
- Selenium disulfide. It has a strong antiviral effect, helps strengthen the immune system, and also restores and preserves the condition of nails.
- Farnesol. Improves the elasticity of tissues and does not allow moisture to disappear, which prevents nail dehydration and eliminates unpleasant odor.
- Essential oils. They have an antibacterial, antiviral and fungicidal effect, maintaining a healthy appearance of nails.
- Vitamins. Saturate tissues, protect the immune system and improve the condition of nails.
Release forms
Climbazole for nails is available in 75 ml tubes, has a white-yellow tint, light texture and a pleasant smell. The cream is well absorbed into the nail plates. Climbazole is also on sale in powder form, which is packaged in special zip-lock bags.
Instructions for use
Before you start using Climbazole cream, you should study the instructions for its use in detail. It is worth understanding that one-time use of the drug will not give positive results. Only systematic use of the cream will help cure the fungus. The cream should be applied only at a time when you can relax and unwind, since only under this condition will it be well absorbed and have maximum effect.
Before using the cream, you must first clean the infected area of the nail from dirt or other fragments. The surface of the nail should be thoroughly wiped with a towel until it is completely dry.
Important! A used towel for wiping a nail must be thoroughly disinfected and washed. Under no circumstances should it be used for personal hygiene!
The package with the cream must be opened and a thin layer applied to the nail. After starting treatment with Climbazole, the procedure must be repeated daily for two weeks. It is necessary to treat not only the nail plate itself, but also the skin adjacent to it. Particular attention should be paid to the area of skin directly between the fingers, since this is where fungal infections are most concentrated.
Contraindications and possible side effects
People suffering from acute liver failure, chronic or viral hepatitis, or disease of the hepatobiliary system should avoid using the drug. Pregnant women should not take the drug, as the substances included in its composition disrupt the embryonic development of the fetus. The cream is also contraindicated during breastfeeding, as well as for children under five years of age. Under no circumstances should the drug be taken orally or used for other purposes. The drug should not be used for a long time, as addiction is possible.
While using the drug, you should avoid drinking alcohol, as alcohol can reduce the effect of treatment, and the liver will be subject to severe toxic effects.
If during the use of Climbazole such side effects as general weakness, severe dizziness, and nausea are observed, you should immediately stop treatment with the drug and consult a doctor, since the presence of such symptoms indicates poisoning of the body.
Overdose and possible complications
The drug Climbazol has the ability to penetrate into the blood, and it is theoretically possible for the body to oversaturate its active components, which, by the way, can be observed extremely rarely. But if acute symptoms such as frequent vomiting, dizziness and nausea occur, you should immediately seek medical help. As a result of poisoning, treatment appropriate to the symptoms is prescribed, and further use of the drug is strictly prohibited.

Good afternoon My name is Ekaterina, and in my impromptu article I want to tell you about a substance called climbazole. Most often, this substance can be seen in hair shampoos, but not ordinary ones, but those designed to combat dandruff. So what is climbazole, how is it useful and what are the instructions for using cosmetics with this component? Let's figure it out together.

Climbazole is an innovative cosmetic ingredient that was created specifically to effectively combat such an unpleasant phenomenon as dandruff. Climbazole is used as part of cosmetic products intended for the care of hair and scalp dermis. The use of climbazole in the formula of shampoos, balms and masks allows you to quickly eliminate all manifestations of dandruff and prevent its occurrence in the future.
But climbazole is unique not only in its effectiveness against dandruff: it restores the healthy shine of curls, soothes irritation of the dermis of the head and removes its increased dryness. Climbazole, like another well-known component of anti-dandruff shampoos - farnesol, is an active antimicrobial substance, and therefore will prevent the growth and reproduction of fungi, which provoke the occurrence of dandruff.
Are there instructions?
There are no instructions for use for the substance, since it is not used in its pure form, but is always used as a component of cosmetics. However, scientific tests have confirmed the complete safety of the substance and the permissibility of its use in skin care products and pharmaceutical cosmetics. Concluding the story about what climbazole is, I can give you advice - if you want a shampoo with this component to be as effective as possible in the fight against dandruff, choose a product containing at least 2% climbazole. However, keep in mind that this shampoo can be used exclusively for treatment, that is, used as a course and not constantly.
