Zocon L Cream is a topical antifungal medication formulated to treat a wide range of fungal skin infections, including ringworm, athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), candidiasis, and tinea corporis. It provides relief from itching, redness, scaling, and irritation commonly associated with fungal infections.
Manufactured by FDC Ltd., Zocon L Cream contains Luliconazole (1% w/w) as its active ingredient — a broad-spectrum antifungal agent known for its deep skin penetration and prolonged action, ensuring faster healing and reduced recurrence.
What is Zocon L Cream?
Zocon L Cream is a dermatologically tested antifungal preparation designed for external use only. It works by attacking the fungal cell membrane, destabilizing it, and ultimately eliminating the fungus. It not only clears existing infections but also prevents their regrowth and spread to other skin areas.
This cream is recommended for both mild and resistant fungal infections, particularly in moist body areas such as the feet, thighs, groin, underarms, and neck folds.
Composition
Active Ingredient | Strength | Function |
---|---|---|
Luliconazole | 1% w/w | Antifungal agent that disrupts fungal cell membrane synthesis by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol demethylase. |
How Zocon L Cream Works
Luliconazole, the primary component of Zocon L Cream, acts by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, fungal cells become weak and leaky, causing their destruction.
This mechanism leads to:
-
Prevention of fungal growth and spread.
-
Reduction in redness, scaling, and itching.
-
Restoration of healthy skin texture.
