How LOLZEN-CREAM Works

Luliconazole belongs to the azole antifungal class.

It interferes with the production of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes. By disrupting this process, luliconazole affects the structure and function of susceptible fungal cells and helps control fungal growth.

As the fungal infection responds to treatment, associated symptoms such as itching, scaling, redness and discomfort may gradually improve.

Common Side Effects of LOLZEN-CREAM

Most people tolerate topical luliconazole well. However, some individuals may experience application-site reactions.

Possible effects include:

• Mild burning or stinging
• Redness
• Itching
• Skin irritation
• Dryness
• Discomfort at the application site

Clinical studies of luliconazole 1% cream reported application-site reactions in less than 1% of subjects in the referenced prescribing information.

Stop using the product and seek medical advice if severe irritation, swelling, worsening redness or signs of an allergic reaction develop.
