Lulican

Lulican (Luliconazole 1% Cream)

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Luliconazole 1%
• Excipients: Cream base (exact composition may vary based on the manufacturer)

Mechanism of Action
Luliconazole is an antifungal medication that acts by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption of ergosterol synthesis leads to increased membrane permeability and eventual cell death, effectively treating fungal infections.

Dosage

• Standard Dosage: Apply a thin layer of Luliconazole 1% cream to the affected area once daily.
• Duration of Therapy: Treatment typically lasts for 2 weeks, or as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
• It is important to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions for usage.

Usage

• Indications: Luliconazole cream is primarily used for the treatment of superficial fungal infections, including:
  • Ringworm (Tinea corporis)
  • Jock itch (Tinea cruris)
  • Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis)
• Application: Clean and dry the affected area before application. Massage the cream gently into the skin until it is well absorbed. Wash hands after application to avoid inadvertent spreading of the infection.

Side Effects
Luliconazole is generally well tolerated, but some potential side effects may include:

• Localized skin irritation (itching, burning, or stinging)
• Redness or rash at the site of application
• Allergic reactions (rare)

If any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction occur, such as swelling, severe itching, or difficulty breathing, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.

Recommendations

• Avoid occlusive dressings over the treated area unless directed by a healthcare provider.
• Do not apply the cream to open wounds or on mucous membranes.
• Maintain good hygiene and keep the affected area clean and dry.
• Do not use for more than the prescribed duration.
• Ensure that others do not come into contact with the infected area to prevent spreading the infection.

Important Note

• For external use only; do not ingest.
• Consult with a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any existing skin conditions.
• If symptoms persist or worsen after a few days of treatment, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
• Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat.
