Luliconazole (1% w/w):

Luliconazole is a topical antifungal medication belonging to the azole class of antifungals. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes, which ultimately leads to the death of the fungus. Luliconazole is commonly used for its broad-spectrum activity against various fungal pathogens that cause superficial skin infections.

Indications:

Lulitec lotion is primarily used to treat the following types of fungal skin infections:

• Tinea infections (Ringworm), including:
  • Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot)
  • Tinea corporis (ringworm of the body)
  • Tinea cruris (jock itch)
• Other dermatophyte infections affecting the skin, causing symptoms like itching, redness, scaling, and irritation.

How to Use:

1. Clean the affected area of the skin with water and mild soap. Pat it dry before applying the cream.
2. Apply a thin layer of Lulitec Lotion to the affected area and around the surrounding skin.
3. Massage gently into the skin until fully absorbed.
4. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding frequency and duration, typically once daily for 2-4 weeks, depending on the severity of the infection.

Storage Instructions:

• Store below 30°C (room temperature).
• Keep away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Precautions:

• Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and open wounds. If the cream accidentally comes into contact with these areas, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
• If you experience any irritation, redness, swelling, or signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
• Use as prescribed and finish the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is completely resolved, even if symptoms improve before the treatment period is over.

Side Effects:

Lulitec lotion is generally well-tolerated. However, potential side effects can include:

• Mild skin irritation, such as burning, itching, or redness at the application site.
• If any severe reactions occur, such as blistering or swelling, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Prescription Requirement:

Since Lulitec lotion contains Luliconazole, a prescription may be required to obtain it. It is recommended to use it under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment of the fungal infection.
