Indications & Uses
Lumilac is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Luliconazole is a topical antifungal medicine with broad-spectrum action, and it belongs to the azole group. It works by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol demethylase, which blocks the synthesis of ergosterol. Ergosterol is an important part of the fungal cell membrane, so without it the fungus can't maintain its membrane. As a result, luliconazole has strong fungicidal activity, both in-vitro and in-vivo, against dermatophytes, Candida albicans, Malassezia spp, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton spp.
