Indications
Luliconazole cream is applied to the skin to treat three fungal infections: interdigital tinea pedis (between the toes), tinea cruris and tinea corporis. It is used when the infection is caused by the organisms Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
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.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Nobody has yet run adequate, well-controlled studies of Luliconazole cream in pregnant women. So Luliconazole cream should be used during pregnancy only if the likely benefit justifies the possible risk to the fetus.
It isn't known whether Luliconazole passes into human milk. Many drugs do pass into breast milk, so caution is needed when Luliconazole cream is applied to women who are breastfeeding.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
