Lulicon Cream

Lulicon cream is indicated for the topical treatment of interdigital tinea pedis, tinea cruris and tinea corporis caused by the organisms Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum.

Luliconazole is a topical antifungal agent. It is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that belongs to the azole group. It acts against fungus by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol demethylase and blocks ergosterol synthesis which is an important constituent of fungal cell membrane. Thus it exerts strong fungicidal activity both in-vitro and in-vivo against dermatophytes, Candida albicans, Malassezia spp, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton spp.

Adult & Geriatric:

• Interdigital tinea pedis: Luliconazole cream should be applied to the affected area and approximately 1 inch of the immediate surrounding area(s) once daily for two weeks.
• Tinea cruris and Tinea corporis: Luliconazole cream should be applied to the affected area and approximately 1 inch of the immediate surrounding area(s) once daily for one week.

Pediatric: Safety and effectiveness have not been established.

Luliconazole cream is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Luliconazole.

Contact dermatitis and cellulitis may occur. Application site reactions were observed in iess than 1% of subjects in clinical trial.

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Luliconazole cream in pregnant women. Luliconazole cream should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether Luliconazole is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Luliconazole cream is applied to women who are breastfeeding.

If there is any unusual allergic reaction with the use of Lulicon, then treatment should be discontinued and appropriate therapy should be instituted. Lulicon is recommended for topical use only. It is not intended for ophthalmic, oral or intravaginal use.
