“Natamycin remains the gold-standard antifungal for corneal infections. I recommend ATACOSS for patients with confirmed or suspected fungal keratitis, especially when caused by filamentous fungi.”

⚙️ How ATACOSS Works   Our Products

Natamycin binds to ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, disrupting their integrity and leading to cell death. Unlike systemic antifungals, ATACOSS delivers a high local concentration at the infection site, enhancing efficacy while avoiding systemic side effects.

🧪 Pharmacological Action

• Fungicidal and fungistatic action
• Penetrates epithelium and stroma of the cornea
• Active against both yeasts and filamentous fungi
