Luliporus Cream 1% w/w | Luliconazole Topical Antifungal Cream by Encore Healthcare

Product Introduction: Luliporus Cream 1% w/w is a topical antifungal medication containing Luliconazole as its active ingredient. Manufactured by Theon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and marketed in India by Encore Healthcare Pharma Limited, this cream is formulated to help treat fungal infections affecting the skin. Luliconazole belongs to the azole class of antifungal medicines. It works by interfering with the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This helps inhibit fungal growth and eliminate the infection. Luliporus Cream is supplied in a convenient 10g pack and is intended for external application only. It should be used according to the directions of a registered medical practitioner. Uses: Luliporus Cream 1% may be prescribed for the treatment of susceptible superficial fungal skin infections, including: Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Fungal infection affecting the body.

Product Form: Product Type: Topical Antifungal Medication Dosage Form: Cream Strength: 1.0% w/w Active Ingredient: Luliconazole Pack Size: 10g Route of Administration: External / Topical Application How to Use: Clean and gently dry the affected skin area before application. Wash your hands before applying the cream. Apply a thin layer of Luliporus Cream to the affected area and surrounding skin as directed by your doctor. Gently spread the cream without rubbing excessively. Wash your hands after application unless the hands are being treated. Follow the prescribed treatment duration, even if symptoms begin to improve. Important: Luliconazole is generally prescribed once daily. Typical treatment durations vary by infection: approximately one week for certain body and groin infections and two weeks for interdigital athlete's foot. Follow your doctor's specific instructions rather than self-adjusting the treatment. How It Works: Luliconazole is an imidazole-class antifungal agent that works by inhibiting an important enzyme involved in fungal cell membrane formation. Its mechanism of action involves: Enzyme Inhibition: Luliconazole inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase. Ergosterol Suppression: This interferes with the production of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. Fungal Cell Membrane Disruption: Reduced ergosterol production affects the structure and function of fungal cell membranes. Antifungal Activity: This ultimately inhibits fungal growth and helps control the infection. 3.
