Lz Can 1 % Lotion 10 ML contains luliconazole (1%), which works in your body through several mechanisms:

• Inhibits ergosterol synthesis: Luliconazole obstructs the creation of ergosterol, a vital component in the cell membranes of fungi. It does this by selectively blocking the action of a specific enzyme in fungal cells - the cytochrome P450 14α-demethylase.

• Alters lipid synthesis: Besides inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, luliconazole also tweaks the production of triglycerides and phospholipids within fungal cells. This leads to an accumulation of toxic hydrogen peroxide, which further disrupts fungal cell function.

• Disrupts mycelium formation: The imidazole part of luliconazole helps break up the formation of fungal mycelium – a mass of branching filaments that form part of a fungus – thereby amplifying its antifungal effect.

  These combined actions help the medicine manage fungal infections effectively.

• Keep Lz Can 1 % Lotion 10 ML at room temperature between 20°C and 25°C.

• Always keep the container tightly closed when not using it.

• Keep it away from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this lotion out of reach of children.

• Remember to use this medication before its expiry date.

• If you're prone to fungal skin infections, try wearing breathable, loose clothing. Tight clothes can trap moisture, creating an environment where fungi thrive.

• Maintain a regular routine of washing your skin and keeping it dry. Damp skin or sweaty areas can be breeding grounds for fungi. Good personal hygiene can help manage conditions like athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm.
