Pharmacology
Sulconazole Nitrate is an imidazole derivative with broad-spectrum antifungal activity. In laboratory (in vitro) tests it stops the growth of the common disease-causing dermatophytes, including Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum and Microsporum canis. It also stops the growth of Malassezia furfur, the organism responsible for Tinea Versicolor.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Gently massage a small amount of Sulconazole Nitrate cream into the affected skin and the skin around it, once or twice a day. For Tinea Pedis, apply it twice a day. Most patients feel early relief of symptoms, and clinical improvement may be seen fairly soon after treatment starts. Even so, keep treating Tinea Corporis, Tinea Cruris and Tinea Versicolor for 3 weeks, and Tinea Pedis for 4 weeks, to reduce the chance of the infection coming back. Or use it as directed by the physician.
