LONICAZOLE P

Lonicazole P is a two-in-one cream for fungal skin infections that itch badly. Ringworm and jock itch are not only about the rash. For many people, the worst part is the constant itching and burning, which leads to scratching, broken skin, poor sleep, and a rash that spreads. This cream treats the cause and the discomfort at the same time.

1. Luliconazole 1% w/w (antifungal). Luliconazole is a newer azole antifungal. Fungi need a compound called ergosterol to build their cell membranes. Luliconazole blocks the enzyme (lanosterol demethylase) that makes it. Without a healthy membrane, the fungal cell cannot grow and dies. It is highly active against dermatophytes, the group of fungi behind ringworm, jock itch, and athlete's foot, and it stays in the upper layers of the skin where the fungus lives.

2. Pramoxine Hydrochloride 1% w/w (topical anaesthetic). Pramoxine numbs the nerve endings in the skin surface by stabilising the nerve cell membrane and blocking the sodium channels that carry itch and pain signals. Its relief usually begins within a few minutes and lasts for a few hours. It does not treat the infection. Its role is comfort.

Why combine them? Relief from itching helps you scratch less, which protects the skin barrier, lowers the chance of secondary bacterial infection, and helps you stick with the full antifungal course. The antifungal then clears the underlying infection. The pramoxine is a short-term comfort aid, not a substitute for finishing the antifungal course.

Product Information 

Why Is a Luliconazole and Pramoxine Cream Important?

Fungal skin infections are among the most common skin problems in India. Heat, sweat, humidity, tight clothing, and shared towels keep them going. The rash itches intensely, particularly at night and in warm skin folds such as the groin. Scratching can break the skin, spread the fungus, and invite bacterial infection.

This combination is important for five reasons:

1. It treats the cause and the symptom together. Luliconazole tackles the fungus, while pramoxine eases the itch that drives scratching.
2. It supports sleep and daily comfort. Relief from night-time itch matters for a person's quality of life, especially in jock itch and athlete's foot.
3. It may help you finish the course. People often stop treatment when the itching improves. Comfort from the first days can make it easier to keep going, provided you understand that the infection needs the full course.
4. It protects the skin from scratch damage. Less scratching means fewer breaks in the skin and less chance of secondary infection.
5. It uses a well-known antifungal with a favourable local safety profile. Luliconazole is widely used by Indian dermatologists, and pramoxine has a long history as a topical antipruritic.

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

Key Benefits 

• Potent antifungal action: Strong activity against the dermatophytes behind ringworm, jock itch, and athlete's foot.
• Fast itch and burning relief: Pramoxine numbs the skin surface within minutes.
• Once- or twice-daily application: Frequency follows the label and your doctor's advice [CONFIRM].
• Less scratching: Helps protect the skin barrier and reduce spreading.
• Non-"caine" anaesthetic: Pramoxine is chemically unrelated to benzocaine and lidocaine, which suits people sensitive to those agents.
• Low systemic absorption: Very little enters the bloodstream when used on intact skin as directed.
• Non-greasy cream base: Spreads easily over the trunk, thighs, and feet.
• Family-size 30 g tube: Useful for larger areas or more than one site.

Uses of Lonicazole P

• Tinea corporis (ringworm of the body): round, red, scaly, intensely itchy patches
• Tinea cruris (jock itch): itchy, red, sometimes burning rash in the groin and inner thighs
• Tinea pedis (athlete's foot): peeling, itchy, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles
• Itchy fungal skin infections where symptomatic relief is needed, as decided by a dermatologist
• Other superficial fungal skin infections with itching, as advised by a doctor

Precautions Before Using 

Do not use if:

• You are allergic to luliconazole, other azole antifungals (such as clotrimazole, ketoconazole, miconazole, or sertaconazole), pramoxine, or any ingredient in the cream
• The skin is badly broken, raw, blistered, 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 in children only on a paediatrician's or dermatologist's advice, and only if the label allows it for their age group. Children absorb more through the skin.
• You have very sensitive skin or a history of contact dermatitis
• You plan to use it over large body areas or for a long time. Topical anaesthetics are meant for small areas and short use.
• 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
