Luliconazole Cream 1%
Fungal skin infections have become extremely common in India, especially in hot and humid regions. Sweating, tight synthetic clothing, crowded living conditions, and changing environmental patterns make it easy for fungus to grow and spread from person to person. Many people experience recurrent itching, redness, and rashes that do not go away easily or keep coming back after temporary relief.
One of the most effective prescription treatments used by dermatologists today is Luliconazole Cream 1%. This broad-spectrum antifungal cream is widely recommended for ringworm, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and other fungal rashes associated with redness, burning, and intense itching. When used correctly and for the full prescribed duration, it helps clear the infection from the root and reduce the chances of recurrence.
As a trusted Indian pharmaceutical company, we at Biotic Healthcare manufacture Lulizem-30 Cream, which contains luliconazole 1% w/w and is designed specifically for treating these common fungal infections.
What is Luliconazole Cream 1%?
Luliconazole Cream 1% is a topical antifungal medicine used on the skin to treat infections caused by fungi and dermatophytes. It belongs to the azole group of antifungal agents, which are known for their strong and targeted action against a wide variety of fungi that commonly infect human skin.
Dermatologists in India frequently prescribe this cream for:
- Ringworm of the body (Tinea corporis)
- Athlete’s foot (Tinea pedis)
- Jock itch (Tinea cruris)
- Fungal rashes in skin folds
- Red, itchy, and scaly patches caused by dermatophytes
- Recurrent fungal infections that did not respond to basic over-the-counter products
Why Fungal Skin Infections Are Increasing in India
Some key reasons include:
- Climate and humidity: Many parts of India have warm and humid weather for a major part of the year.
- Lifestyle and clothing: Tight synthetic clothes, non-breathable footwear create perfect environment for fungal growth.
- Shared surroundings: Common towels, gym equipment, crowded public spaces increase transmission.
- Recurring infections and partial treatment: Many people stop treatment early or use steroid-based creams that worsen the infection.
- Medical conditions: Diabetes, obesity, low immunity make infections more frequent.
How Luliconazole Cream 1% Works
Luliconazole works by targeting ergosterol in fungal cell membranes:
- Blocks the enzyme responsible for producing ergosterol
- Fungal cell membrane becomes weak and leaky
- Fungus can no longer grow or survive
- Fungal cells die → infection clears
Once-daily application improves patient compliance and makes it highly effective even in stubborn infections.
