What is luliconazole and how does it work?

Luliconazole is a topical azole antifungal medicine. As luliconazole 1% cream, it is FDA-approved for the topical treatment of three common superficial fungal (tinea) skin infections in patients 12 years and older: interdigital tinea pedis (athlete's foot between the toes), tinea cruris (jock itch), and tinea corporis (ringworm). These infections are caused by dermatophyte fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum.

The cream works by inhibiting the fungus's production of ergosterol, a key building block of the fungal cell membrane. Without it, fungal growth slows and the infection clears. Luliconazole is applied once daily, typically for 1 week for jock itch and ringworm, or 2 weeks for athlete's foot. It is for external use on the skin only.

Luliconazole cost and savings without insurance

Luliconazole is available as an FDA-approved generic, which is generally much less expensive than the brand-name Luzu cream. That said, generic prices are not the same everywhere. The cash price for the same tube can differ a lot depending on which pharmacy you use, so comparing pharmacies is the single easiest way to lower what you pay, especially if you don't have insurance or your plan doesn't cover it.

Rx.com compares prices across more than 60,000 pharmacies and gives you a free discount coupon you can use at the counter. Enter your ZIP above to see today's price near you. If you prefer the brand, Ortho Dermatologics, the maker of Luzu, offers a manufacturer copay savings program on its official website; eligibility and terms vary, and savings-card programs generally exclude people with government insurance.

Luliconazole alternatives and how it compares

Luliconazole is one of several topical antifungals used for tinea skin infections. The brand-name version is Luzu. Other topical options your provider may consider include:

• Azole antifungals like clotrimazole, ketoconazole, econazole, and oxiconazole
• The allylamine antifungal terbinafine
• Other antifungals such as ciclopirox, and for nail infections, efinaconazole

These medicines differ in how long you use them and how often you apply them. Which one is right depends on the type and location of your infection, so ask your pharmacist or provider. Whichever you are prescribed, comparing pharmacy prices on Rx.com can help you find a lower cash price.

Luliconazole safety and side effects

Luliconazole cream has no boxed warning. It is for external, topical use only: avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and vaginal area, and do not swallow it. The most common side effects are mild reactions where you apply it, such as irritation, itching, stinging, burning, or redness. Stop using it and contact your provider if you develop signs of an allergic reaction or significant local irritation.

Its safety and effectiveness have not been established in children under 12. To keep the infection from coming back, finish the full course even if your skin looks and feels better before you're done. This is general information, not medical advice; talk with your provider or pharmacist about your specific situation.
