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 Cream 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 Cream 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.
