(Inclusive of all taxes)Frequently Asked Questions
LULICAN XL CREAM 50 GM by GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS LTD. is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat various fungal skin infections.
What is Lulican XL Cream used for?
Lulican XL Cream is an antifungal medicine primarily used to treat fungal skin infections. These include conditions such as athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). It can also be used for other fungal conditions like thrush and dry, flaky skin.
How does Lulican XL Cream work?
This cream contains Luliconazole, which is an antifungal agent. It works by killing the fungi responsible for the infection by damaging their cell membrane. Specifically, Luliconazole inhibits the production of ergosterol, a crucial component that forms the fungal cell membrane, thereby preventing the fungi from growing and spreading.
What is the usual dosage of Lulican XL Cream?
Lulican XL Cream is for external use only. The typical dosage involves applying a thin layer to the affected skin area once daily. For athlete's foot between the toes, it's usually applied once a day for 2 weeks, covering at least 1 inch of the surrounding skin. For jock itch or ringworm, it is typically applied once a day for 1 week. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor.
What are the possible side effects of Lulican XL Cream?
Common side effects at the application site include a burning sensation, irritation, itching, and redness. Other possible effects may include dryness, peeling, or blistering of the skin. These reactions are generally mild and tend to resolve over time. If these side effects persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult your doctor.
Is Lulican XL Cream safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Pregnancy: Lulican XL Cream is generally not recommended during pregnancy as animal studies have indicated potential harm to the developing baby, and there is limited human data. It is categorized as a Category C pregnancy drug, and its safety is uncertain. Always consult your doctor to assess the benefits and risks if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
Breastfeeding: It is probably unsafe to use Lulican XL Cream while breastfeeding, as limited human data suggests the drug might pass into breast milk. If prescribed, avoid applying it to the breast, nipple, or surrounding areas, and do not use it on large skin areas for prolonged periods. Seek medical advice from your doctor before use.
Can Lulican XL Cream be taken with other medications?
Since Lulican XL Cream is a topical medication applied to the skin, it is less likely to have significant interactions with medications taken orally or by injection. However, it is important to inform your doctor about all other medications you are currently using, especially if you have recently used a steroid-containing medication or have a history of allergic reactions to other antifungal medicines.
What precautions should be taken while using Lulican XL Cream?
This cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, or vaginal area; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. Do not use the cream if you are allergic to Luliconazole or any other ingredients. Always wash and dry the affected area before application. Unless specifically directed by your doctor, do not cover the treated area with bandages or dressings. Ensure you complete the full course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from returning. Keep the affected area clean and dry. Lulican XL Cream is not recommended for children under 12 for athlete's foot and jock itch, or under 2 for ringworm, unless prescribed by a doctor.
What happens if a dose of Lulican XL Cream is missed?
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular application schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.
How should Lulican XL Cream be stored?
Store Lulican XL Cream at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C, and not exceeding 30°C. Keep the container tightly closed and protect it from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture. Always ensure the cream is stored out of the reach of children.
