Tioconazole is an imidazole derivative. Tioconazole is a broad spectrum antifungal agent that also has an antibacterial effect on a number of Gram-positive cocci (e.g. Stapphylococcus, Streptococcus species). It is active against commonly occurring dermatophyte and yeast-like fungal species.

Tinidazole is active against both protozoa and obligate anaerobic bacteria. The activity against protozoa involves Trichomonas vaginalis, Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia. The mode of action of tinidazole against anaerobic bacteria and protozoa involves penetration of the drug into the cell of the micro-organism and subsequent damage of DNA strands or inhibition of their synthesis.

Lidocaine, like other local anaesthetics, causes a reversible blockade of impulse propagation along nerve fibres by preventing the inward movement of sodium ions through the nerve membrane. Local anaesthetics of the amide-type are thought to act within the sodium channels of the nerve membrane.
