Name: Lucrush 1% W/W Cream (Brand Name: LUCRUSH)

• Athlete's Foot (Tinea pedis) It works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, specifically by destroying their cell membranes, which relieves symptoms like itching, redness, burning, and scaling.

Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected skin and approximately 1 inch of the surrounding skin, gently rubbing it in until absorbed. Wash hands thoroughly before and after application, unless the hands are the area being treated. The typical duration of treatment varies, often once daily for one to two weeks, but always follow your doctor's prescribed dosage and duration. Do not cover or bandage the treated area unless advised by a doctor.

Side Effects: Common side effects may include:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Irritation or burning sensation at the application site
• Itching
• Dryness or peeling of the skin

Serious side effects are rare but seek medical attention if you experience severe allergic reactions (e.g., rash, hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, difficulty breathing) or if irritation, redness, or pain at the infection site persists or worsens.

Precautions:

• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Consult a doctor before using if pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Not recommended for children under 12 years of age for athlete's foot or jock itch without a doctor's prescription.
• Do not apply to broken or severely irritated skin unless directed by a doctor.
• Inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems or if you are allergic to luliconazole or any other ingredients.
• Do not use for longer than recommended, as it will not clear the condition faster and may increase the risk of side effects.

LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM 30GM contains luliconazole, an antifungal medication used to treat various fungal skin infections.

What is LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM used for?

LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM is used to treat common fungal skin infections, including athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). These infections can cause symptoms like itching, redness, burning, and scaling on the skin.

How does LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM work?

The active ingredient, luliconazole, is an azole antifungal. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called lanosterol demethylase, which is vital for the synthesis of ergosterol. Ergosterol is a crucial component of the fungal cell membrane. By disrupting ergosterol production, the cream damages the fungal cell membrane, which stops the growth of the fungus and ultimately kills it, helping to clear the infection.

What is the usual dosage for LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM?

LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM is for external use on the skin only. A thin layer should be applied to the affected area and about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the surrounding healthy skin. The frequency and duration depend on the type of infection:

• For athlete's foot (tinea pedis): Apply once daily for 2 weeks.
• For jock itch (tinea cruris) and ringworm (tinea corporis): Apply once daily for 1 week.

Always wash your hands before and after applying the cream. It is important to use the medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor and complete the full course of treatment, even if your symptoms improve sooner.

What are the possible side effects of LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM?

Common side effects are generally mild and may include application site reactions such as irritation, burning, stinging, redness, itching, swelling, dryness, scaling, or flaking of the skin.

Rarely, more serious reactions like contact dermatitis, cellulitis, or severe allergic reactions (e.g., hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat) can occur. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or symptoms of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.

Is LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Pregnancy: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies on the use of luliconazole cream in pregnant women. It should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus, as determined by a doctor.

Breastfeeding: It is not known whether luliconazole passes into human breast milk. While systemic absorption from topical application is low, caution should be exercised. If you are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medicine, and avoid applying it to the nipple area to prevent direct infant exposure.

Can LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM be taken with other medications?

Since LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM is applied topically to the skin, it is less likely to interact significantly with other medications taken by mouth. However, luliconazole can weakly inhibit certain liver enzymes (CYP2C19 and CYP3A4) in some cases. It is generally not associated with severe or serious drug interactions. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all prescription and non-prescription medications, vitamins, and herbal products you are currently using to avoid potential interactions.

What precautions should be taken when using LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM?

• This cream is for external skin use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water.
• Do not apply the cream to open wounds or severely damaged skin without consulting your doctor.
• Do not stop using the cream before the prescribed duration, even if your symptoms improve, as the infection may return.
• Consult your doctor if your skin condition does not improve within 2 weeks or if it worsens.
• The use of this medicine in children younger than 12 years for athlete's foot or jock itch, or younger than 2 years for ringworm, should be determined by a doctor.

What happens if a dose of LUCRUSH 1% W/W 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 dosing schedule. Do not apply extra cream or a double dose to make up for the missed one.

How should LUCRUSH 1% W/W CREAM be stored?

Store the cream in its closed container at room temperature, typically between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Protect it from heat, moisture, and direct light. Do not freeze the cream. Keep this and all medicines out of the reach of children. Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine that is no longer needed.
