Lucoz Xl Cream 50gm

Lucoz XL Cream is used for the following:

• Tackling fungal infections of the foot, known as 'athlete's foot'

• Dealing with fungal infections in the groin area, commonly called 'jock itch'

• Helping with ringworm infections in the body

Use Lucoz XL Cream as follows:

• Start by washing your hands to make sure they're clean.

• Take a small amount of cream on your fingertip.

• Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin areas.

• Rub it gently until it's fully absorbed into the skin.

• After application, remember to wash your hands again.

• For further advice on how to use this medicine, consult your doctor.

Lucoz XL Cream is applied topically.

Lucoz XL Cream contains luliconazole (1%), working in the body as follows:

• Inhibition of Enzyme: Luliconazole inhibits an enzyme called lanosterol demethylase in fungal cells. This enzyme is crucial for making ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane.

• Disruption of Fungal Cell Membrane: By inhibiting lanosterol demethylase, luliconazole leads to a decrease in ergosterol and an increase in lanosterol. This imbalance disrupts the structure and function of the fungal cell membrane.

• Fungicidal Activity: As a result of these actions, luliconazole has fungicidal activity, particularly against dermatophyte fungi like Trichophyton species, which commonly cause skin infections.

• Store Lucoz XL Cream at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Make sure to seal the tube tightly after every use.

• Always keep it out of the reach of children.

• If you have a fungal skin infection like athlete's foot, jock itch, or ringworm, try to keep the affected area dry as much as possible. Too much moisture can cause fungi to grow faster.

• Wear loose, breathable clothing, particularly around your feet, groin, or other infected areas. Tight clothing can create a warm, moist environment that encourages fungal growth.
