LONICAZOLE P by Steris Healthcare combines a high-potency azole antifungal with a fast-acting topical anesthetic: Luliconazole (1.0% w/w) and Pramoxine Hydrochloride (1.0% w/w). Engineered to treat both the underlying fungal pathogen and the agonizing itch that accompanies skin ringworm and fungal rashes, this soothing cream rapidly alleviates skin distress, stops scratching cycles, and speeds up epidermal healing. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Luliconazole (1.0% w/w): A potent broad-spectrum antifungal agent with ultra-low minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). It deeply penetrates the stratum corneum (outermost skin layer) and binds strongly to keratin, providing powerful, long-lasting fungicidal activity that destroys dermatophytes. Pramoxine Hydrochloride (1.0% w/w): A fast-acting topical local anesthetic that temporarily numbs nerve endings in the skin. It interrupts the itch-scratch cycle instantly, reducing severe itching, stinging, and burning sensations without the skin-thinning risks associated with topical corticosteroids. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: Dual Antifungal & Anti-Itch Action: Simultaneously eradicates fungal pathogens while stopping intense itching and local pain. Eliminates Ringworm & Fungal Rashes: Highly effective against Tinea corporis (body ringworm), Tinea cruris (jock itch), Tinea pedis (athlete's foot), and intertrigo. Steroid-Free Itch Relief: Safe for delicate fold areas (groin, armpits, under breasts) where steroid creams cause skin thinning or stretch marks. Prevents Secondary Bacterial Infection: Stopping the urge to scratch prevents skin breaks and cuts, protecting against secondary bacterial skin infections. Smooth, Fast-Absorbing Base: Non-greasy formula rubs in easily, leaving skin hydrated, cool, and comfortable. How LONICAZOLE P Works: Luliconazole selectively inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, halting ergosterol synthesis essential for fungal cell wall integrity and causing cell collapse. Pramoxine Hydrochloride blocks the conduction of sensory nerve impulses by interfering with sodium ion influx through nerve membranes, providing targeted local relief from itching.
कैसे उपयोग करें
Clean and thoroughly dry the affected area and surrounding skin before application. Apply a thin layer of LONICAZOLE P to the affected skin once or twice daily, extending slightly beyond the border of the rash, or strictly as directed by your dermatologist or physician. Gently rub in until absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after application. Continue treatment for the full recommended duration to prevent infection recurrence.
