Frequently asked questions
Does Lulican Lotion affect pregnancy safety?
Lulican Lotion should not be used during pregnancy because there is no data confirming its safety. Consult your doctor for further information, who can evaluate the potential risks and benefits to your unborn child.
Is Lulican Lotion fungicidal or fungistatic?
Lulican Lotion exhibits fungicidal activity by slowing fungal growth due to its effect on ergosterol, a crucial cell membrane constituent in fungi. This action inhibits the fungal growth and leads to its fungicidal property.
How should I apply Lulican Lotion?
Apply Lulican Lotion exactly as directed by your doctor. If you have athlete's foot between the toes, apply a thin layer of the medication to affected skin areas and ensure it covers at least one inch of surrounding skin. Use this medicine once daily for two weeks in case of athlete's foot. For jock itch or ringworm, apply a similar thin layer to affected skin areas with at least one-inch coverage and use it once daily for one week. Always wash your hands after application.
How long does Lulican Lotion take to work?
The time it takes for Lulican Lotion to show effect varies depending on the specific condition being treated: For athlete's foot between the toes, results are typically seen after four weeks. However, some people may experience improvement after up to six weeks. For jock itch and ringworm, results usually appear within three weeks but can take up to four weeks.
