LULIBOR 1% CREAM 30 GM

How LULIBOR 1% CREAM 30 GM Works

• LULIBOR 1% CREAM 30 GM contains luliconazole, an antifungal medication that belongs to the azole class. It is primarily used to treat fungal infections of the skin, such as athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). Luliconazole works by inhibiting the growth of fungi. Fungi require a substance called ergosterol to build their cell membranes. Luliconazole blocks the production of ergosterol by interfering with the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase. This enzyme is crucial for the synthesis of ergosterol.
• By inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, luliconazole disrupts the integrity of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption leads to increased permeability, leakage of essential cellular contents, and ultimately, fungal cell death. The compromised cell membrane impairs the fungus's ability to grow and multiply, effectively treating the infection.
• When LULIBOR 1% CREAM is applied topically, luliconazole is absorbed into the skin. The concentration of the drug is highest at the site of application, ensuring that the fungus is directly targeted. Because luliconazole has a high affinity for fungal cells and a lower affinity for human cells, it selectively targets the fungus while minimizing potential side effects on the surrounding skin. The cream formulation allows for easy application and penetration into the affected area, ensuring adequate drug delivery to the site of infection. Regular application as directed by a healthcare professional is crucial to maintain a consistent concentration of the drug and ensure complete eradication of the fungal infection. The treatment duration depends on the type and severity of the infection, but it is typically continued for several weeks to prevent recurrence.

LULIBOR 1% CREAM 30 GM, like other topical medications, may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include application site reactions such as itching, burning, redness, stinging, or dryness. Less common side effects may include folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles), contact dermatitis (skin rash due to allergy), and allergic reactions. In rare cases, hypopigmentation (loss of skin color) or skin atrophy (thinning of the skin) might occur. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use and consult your doctor or pharmacist.

• Apply the cream as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.

• Keep LULIBOR 1% CREAM 30GM away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store LULIBOR 1% CREAM 30GM at room temperature.

• **Clean and Dry the Affected Area:** Before applying LULIBOR 1% Cream, ensure the skin is thoroughly clean and dry. Gently wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat it dry with a clean towel. This helps the medication penetrate effectively and reduces the risk of further infection. Avoid using harsh soaps or scrubbing, as this can irritate the skin and worsen the condition.
• **Apply a Thin Layer:** Use a small amount of LULIBOR 1% Cream to cover the affected area. Apply a thin, even layer to ensure proper absorption and avoid wasting the medication. Gently rub the cream into the skin until it disappears. Applying too much cream will not make it work faster or better and may increase the risk of side effects.
• **Use Regularly as Prescribed:** Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the frequency and duration of application. LULIBOR 1% Cream is usually applied once daily for a specified period. Consistency is key to achieving the best results. Even if your symptoms improve, continue using the cream for the entire prescribed duration to prevent the infection from recurring.
• **Avoid Occlusive Dressings:** Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, avoid covering the treated area with bandages or dressings. Occlusive dressings can increase the absorption of the medication and may lead to side effects. Allowing the skin to breathe promotes healing and reduces the risk of irritation. If a dressing is necessary, use a light, breathable covering.
• **Wash Hands After Application:** After applying LULIBOR 1% Cream, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. This prevents the spread of the infection to other parts of your body or to other people. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth after applying the cream until you have washed your hands. If the cream accidentally gets into your eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty of water.

• LULIBOR 1% CREAM 30 GM is for external use. It is unlikely to interact with food. However, consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
