Active composition
Luliconazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes, leading to cell lysis.
Medical applications
Lucoz Cream contains Luliconazole 1% w/w, a topical antifungal agent indicated for the treatment of various superficial fungal infections of the skin. Luliconazole belongs to the imidazole class of antifungals and exhibits broad-spectrum activity against dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes.
This disruption leads to increased membrane permeability and ultimately fungal cell death. Lucoz Cream is primarily prescribed for conditions such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and tinea pedis. The cream formulation allows for targeted application, promoting effective local drug delivery with minimal systemic absorption, thereby reducing the risk of systemic side effects. Typically, the cream is applied once daily to the affected area and surrounding skin for a duration recommended by a healthcare professional, usually ranging from one to four weeks depending on the severity and type of infection.
Patients are advised to maintain proper hygiene and avoid occlusive dressings unless directed by a physician. Common adverse effects may include mild local irritation, burning sensation, or erythema at the application site, which are generally transient. Lucoz Cream should be used with caution in individuals with known hypersensitivity to luliconazole or any cream excipients.
How to use Lucoz Cream This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
