How does the ingredient of the medicine work?

The ingredients come from the bearberry plant and act as a natural mixture. About the plant itself:

  - Appearance: small, evergreen shrub with inverted ovoid, tough leaves, white-reddish bell-shaped flowers ripen into scarlet spherical fruits -
  Occurrence: Europe, Asia, North America
  - Main ingredients: arbutin, methylarbutin, tannins
  - Plant parts and preparations used: mainly extracts of the dried leaves
Arbutin and its related substances have an antibacterial effect and also inhibit the growth of fungi. The arbutin itself is not effective here, it must first be converted into the active form in the body. The tannins that are also present support the germicidal effect of arbutin.
