Oteseconazole belongs to the azole class of antifungals and targets CYP51, an enzyme crucial for building fungal cell membranes. Blocking this enzyme disrupts fungal growth and survival by accumulating harmful sterol byproducts. Its unique tetrazole structure also makes it less likely to interfere with human enzymes, offering improved safety.
Otes is prescribed to help prevent recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) in adult females who are not able to conceive and have a history of frequent fungal infections. It can be used alone or alongside fluconazole, depending on the treatment plan. The medication works by inhibiting the growth and reproduction of yeast or fungal organisms.
