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.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Luliconazole 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.
