Flucoxel Fluconazole Dusting Powder 2% w/w 100g

What is Flucoxel Fluconazole Dusting Powder? Flucoxel is a specialized antifungal dusting powder containing 2% w/w Fluconazole. Manufactured by Accretion Pharmaceuticals, it is formulated to treat and prevent various fungal skin infections by targeting the root cause while keeping the affected area dry. In the Nigerian climate, heat and humidity often lead to fungal growth in skin folds. Flucoxel helps manage these conditions effectively, providing relief from itching and irritation. How it Works The active ingredient, Fluconazole, belongs to the triazole class of antifungals. It works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, effectively stopping the growth of fungi. The powder base helps absorb excess moisture, which is crucial in Nigeria where perspiration can worsen fungal growth. Key Indications & Uses Flucoxel is effective for managing common skin conditions including:

Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Red, itchy, circular rashes. Athlete's Foot (Tinea Pedis): Fungal infection between the toes. Jock Itch (Tinea Cruris): Itchy rash in the groin area. Sunspots (Tinea Versicolor): Discolored patches on the skin.

Benefits of the Powder Form Unlike creams, an antifungal dusting powder like Flucoxel is ideal for:

Large surface areas of the body. Moisture-prone areas like the armpits, under-breast area, and groin. Preventing friction and skin maceration (softening of the skin due to moisture).

How to Apply

Clean and thoroughly dry the affected area. Lightly dust the powder over the skin once or twice daily. Continue use as recommended by your doctor or Meddylab pharmacist even if symptoms disappear to prevent recurrence.

Safety & Precautions

External Use Only: Do not ingest or apply to deep open wounds. Avoid Inhalation: Keep away from the nose and mouth during application. Consult a Professional: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a Meddylab pharmacist before use.
