LONICAZOLE 30 (Gram)

Lonicazole 30 is an antifungal cream for the skin. Its active ingredient, luliconazole, belongs to the azole family and was developed for superficial fungal infections. The "30" in the name tells you the tube size: 30 grams of cream, which is one and a half times the 20 g tube.

How does it work? Fungi need a compound called ergosterol to build their cell walls. Luliconazole blocks the enzyme lanosterol demethylase, which the fungus uses to make ergosterol. When ergosterol runs short, the fungal membrane becomes leaky and weak, and the fungus stops growing and dies. Laboratory studies have shown luliconazole to be highly active against dermatophytes, the fungi behind most ringworm, and it also acts on certain yeasts such as Candida and Malassezia.

Why Is Luliconazole Cream Important?

Fungal skin infections are among the most common skin problems in India. Heat, sweat, humidity, tight clothing, shared towels, and delayed treatment all keep the cycle going. The rash itches badly, disturbs sleep, and spreads to family members if hygiene is not tightened.

Luliconazole cream is important for five reasons:

1. It targets the usual culprits. Dermatophytes such as Trichophyton rubrum account for most body, groin, and foot infections.
2. It is simple to use. A single daily application fits easily into a routine.
3. It can work with shorter courses. Many uncomplicated cases are treated for one to two weeks, though stubborn infections may need longer.
4. It stays in the skin layers where the fungus lives. This supports its action between applications.
5. It suits combined treatment plans. Doctors pair it with hygiene advice, drying measures, and, when the infection is deep, widespread, or resistant, an oral antifungal.

Steris Healthcare manufactures Lonicazole 30 under WHO-GMP and ISO-certified quality systems, so dermatologists, pharmacists, and distributors get consistent quality.

Key Benefits 

• Potent antifungal action: Strong activity against ringworm, jock itch, and athlete's foot fungi.
• Enough cream for larger areas: The 30 g tube reduces the chance of running out mid-course.
• Once-daily application: Simple and easy to follow.
• Relief from itching and redness: As fungal load falls, burning and itching ease.
• Short-course potential: Uncomplicated infections may clear in one to two weeks with regular use, as advised by a doctor.
• Low systemic absorption: Very little enters the bloodstream when used on intact skin as directed.
• Non-greasy cream base: Spreads smoothly on the trunk, thighs, and feet.
• Better value per gram for bigger needs: A larger tube can suit multi-site or family use better than buying several small tubes.

Uses of Lonicazole 30

• Tinea corporis (ringworm of the body): round, red, scaly, itchy patches with a clearer centre
• Tinea cruris (jock itch): itchy, red rash in the groin, inner thighs, and buttock folds
• Tinea pedis (athlete's foot): peeling, itchy, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles
• Extensive or multi-site fungal skin infection, as decided by a dermatologist
• Pityriasis (tinea) versicolor: light or dark patches on the chest, back, and shoulders, where your doctor advises it
• Cutaneous candidiasis (skin yeast infection), where your doctor advises it

Precautions Before Using 

Do not use if:

• You are allergic to luliconazole, other azole antifungals (such as clotrimazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, or sertaconazole), or any ingredient in the cream
• The skin is badly broken, raw, or bleeding, unless your doctor advises it

Use with caution and talk to your doctor if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding. Absorption through the skin is low, but always check with your doctor first.
• You want to use it on a child. Use only on a paediatrician's or dermatologist's advice, and only if the label allows it for their age group.
• You have very sensitive skin or a history of contact dermatitis
• You have diabetes, low immunity, or a long-standing skin condition, since fungal infections may be harder to clear and need closer follow-up
• You use other creams, steroid creams, or oral antifungals on the same area. Do not stop or change them without medical advice.
