Product Introduction
Emluz Cream 40gm contains luliconazole, an azole antifungal. It is used to treat fungal infections of the skin, including athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). Athlete's foot is a fungal infection affecting the feet, particularly the spaces between the toes, causing itching, redness, cracking, and peeling of the skin. Jock itch is a fungal infection of the groin and inner thighs. Ringworm is a fungal infection, despite its name, that can affect various body parts and cause circular or ring-shaped rashes with raised edges and a clear center.
Do not use Emluz Cream 40gm if you have hypersensitivity to luliconazole or any other ingredients in the product. Do not apply to open wounds, cuts, or areas of broken skin. Do not apply to the eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes. Patients with compromised immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS or undergoing immunosuppressive therapy, may be at increased risk of fungal infections. Use of Emluz Cream 40gm in these patients requires careful monitoring by a healthcare provider. The cream may not be approved for use in children under a certain age or weight; healthcare provider guidance should be followed when considering use in children. Consultation with a healthcare provider is important before using this medication in older age.

How it works
Emluz Cream works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, an essential component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption weakens the cell membrane, leading to the death of the fungus and ultimately resolving the infection.
