Detailed Information
Introduction
INTRODUCTIONLULIGEE contains Luliconazole which belongs to the group of medicines called azole antifungal agents. It is indicated for the topical management of interdigital tinea pedis, tinea cruris and tinea corporis caused by organisms like Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum in adult patients. Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) is a dermatophyte infection of soles of feet and interdigital spaces. Tinea cruris, also known as jock itch is a superficial fungus infection of crotch (region where your leg joins) and perineum. Tinea corporis, popularly known as ringworm, is a fungal infection characterized by red, itchy, circular rash with clearer skin in the middle.

It inhibits the enzyme lanosterol demethylase, which results in decreased amounts of ergosterol, which is a major component of the fungus cell membranes. It is only for topical use. It is not for ophthalmic, oral or intravaginal use. LULIGEE is generally well tolerated and does not pose any
