Proper use of luliconazole
It is very important that you use luliconazole only as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may cause unwanted side effects or skin irritation.
Luliconazole should come with a patient information leaflet. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
Luliconazole is for use on the skin only. Do not get it into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina.
Wash your hands before and after using luliconazole.
Apply enough medicine to cover the affected and surrounding skin areas, and rub in gently.
To help clear up your infection completely, it is very important that you keep using luliconazole for the full time of treatment, even if your symptoms begin to clear up after a few days. Since fungus or yeast infections may be very slow to clear up, you may have to continue using luliconazole every day for several weeks or more. If you stop using luliconazole too soon, your symptoms may return. Do not miss any doses.
