L Canazole 20 GM

L Canazole 20 GM is used for managing the following conditions:

• Athlete's foot, also known as tinea pedis, which is a common fungal infection causing itchiness and peeling skin between the toes.

• Jock itch or tinea cruris, an infection causing a red, itchy rash in warm and moist areas of the body.

• Ringworm or tinea corporis, a contagious fungal infection that appears as a circular rash on the skin.

Using L Canazole 20 GM correctly is important for effective management of fungal infections. Follow these instructions:

1. Ensure that the affected skin area is clean and dry before applying the cream.

2. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the infected area once a day.

3. Rub it gently into your skin.

4. Avoid applying it to your eyes, mouth, or vagina. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

5. Remember to wash your hands after applying the cream unless your hands are part of the treatment.

6. Always consult your doctor for any specific advice regarding its use.

L Canazole 20 GM is applied topically.

L Canazole 20 GM contains luliconazole (1%), which works on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Lanosterol Demethylase: Luliconazole interferes with a key enzyme called lanosterol demethylase in fungal cells. This enzyme helps produce a component called ergosterol, which is critical for maintaining fungal cell membranes.

• Disrupts Fungal Cell Membranes: By blocking lanosterol demethylase, luliconazole disrupts the production of ergosterol. This leads to an accumulation of other sterols that cause disruption in the fungal cell membranes, effectively inhibiting their growth.

• Broad Spectrum Activity: Luliconazole exhibits broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of fungi, including dermatophytes (which cause common skin infections), yeasts, and dimorphic fungi (which can exist in two different forms).

1. Store L Canazole 20 GM in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays between 20°C and 25°C.

2. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat.

3. Ensure the tube is tightly sealed after each use to prevent air exposure.

4. Always keep this medication out of the reach of children.

5. Use the cream before its expiry date for it to remain effective.

• If you are dealing with 'athlete's foot' or 'jock itch', ensure your footwear and undergarments are always dry and clean. Fungi, which cause these conditions, thrive in moist, warm places.

• Maintain good personal hygiene. Regularly wash and thoroughly dry areas prone to fungal infections, like your feet, groin and underarms. This could assist in managing conditions for which L Canazole 20 GM is prescribed.
