Introduction
Lulicon 1% Cream is an antifungal medication designed to treat various fungal infections of the skin, including athlete’s foot, Dhobie Itch, thrush, ringworm, and dry, flaky skin. It works by killing the fungi responsible for these infections, thereby alleviating symptoms such as discomfort, itching, and irritation. While it is generally safe for external use, it is important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication due to potential risks. Always complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve.
Directions for Use
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.
How it works
Lulicon 1% Cream is an antifungal medication that treats skin infections by killing the infection-causing fungi through the destruction of their cell membrane. This action relieves discomfort, itching, and irritation on the skin.
Quick Tips
Lulicon 1% Cream helps treat skin infections caused by many different types of fungi. Keep your feet clean and dry, particularly between the toes. Cut your nails short and prefer open-toe shoes for everyday use. Use a separate clean towel for the feet and wear clean cotton socks. Never share your socks, shoes, and towel with others. Apply an amount sufficient to cover the affected area and 1 inch of the immediate surrounding skin. It can take a few weeks for the infection to clear and a few months before the skin returns to its normal color. Finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Avoid getting it in the eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Inform your doctor if the infection has not cleared up after four weeks of treatment.
