Uses

LULIBRUT CREAM is primarily used for the topical treatment of various fungal skin infections. These include:

• Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Characterized by red, itchy, circular-shaped rashes.
• Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis): A fungal infection typically found between the toes.
• Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): A red and itchy rash in warm and moist areas of the body.

It helps to relieve symptoms such as itching, redness, irritation, and scaling, while also preventing the spread of the infection.

5. The typical treatment duration is once daily for two weeks for athlete's foot (between the toes) and once daily for one week for jock itch or ringworm.
6. Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by a doctor, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence.

What is LULIBRUT CREAM used for?

LULIBRUT CREAM is primarily used to treat fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), ringworm (tinea corporis), thrush (cutaneous candidiasis), and conditions with dry, flaky skin often associated with fungal overgrowth. It works by targeting and eliminating the fungi responsible for these infections.

How does LULIBRUT CREAM work?

LULIBRUT CREAM contains Luliconazole, which is an antifungal agent. It works by damaging the cell membranes of the fungus, which are essential for their survival. This action prevents the entry of unwanted substances into the fungal cells and stops the leakage of cell contents, effectively killing the fungi and clearing the infection.

What is the usual dosage and how should it be applied?

LULIBRUT CREAM is for external use only. A thin layer should be applied to the affected skin area once daily, as advised by your doctor. For athlete's foot between the toes, it's typically used once a day for 2 weeks, covering at least 1 inch of the surrounding skin. For jock itch or ringworm, it's usually applied once a day for 1 week. Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the cream.

What are the possible side effects of LULIBRUT CREAM?

Common side effects at the application site may include a burning sensation, irritation, itching, redness, and dry skin. These are usually mild and resolve over time. In rare cases, individuals may experience an allergic reaction, indicated by symptoms like a rash, swelling of the lips, throat, or face, difficulty swallowing or breathing, or nausea. If any side effects persist, worsen, or if you suspect an allergic reaction, consult your doctor immediately.

Is LULIBRUT CREAM safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

LULIBRUT CREAM should be used with caution during pregnancy, and it is recommended to consult your doctor to weigh the potential benefits against possible risks, as its safety in pregnancy is not fully established (it is a Category C pregnancy drug). While breastfeeding, LULIBRUT CREAM can generally be used as the absorbed quantities through the skin are very low. However, it must not be applied to the breast, nipple, or surrounding area to prevent direct contact with the infant. Avoid applying it to large skin areas for prolonged periods. Always consult your doctor before use.

Can LULIBRUT CREAM be taken with other medications?

Since LULIBRUT CREAM is a topical formulation with minimal systemic absorption, it is unlikely to interact significantly with orally administered medications. However, it's important to inform your doctor about all medications you are currently taking, including any topical steroids or other antifungal medicines you have used recently. No specific food or alcohol interactions have been identified.

What precautions should be taken while using LULIBRUT CREAM?

LULIBRUT CREAM is for external use only. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists. Clean and dry the affected area before application. Do not cover the treated area with bandages unless specifically directed by your doctor. It is not recommended for children below 12 years to treat athlete's foot or jock itch, but may be used in children above 2 years to treat ringworm if prescribed by a doctor.

What happens if a dose of LULIBRUT CREAM is missed?

If you miss a dose of LULIBRUT CREAM, 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 dosing schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

How should LULIBRUT CREAM be stored?

LULIBRUT CREAM should be stored at room temperature, typically between 20°C to 25°C or below 30°C, in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets. Once opened, it should ideally be used within one month.
