Luzu is indicated for the topical treatment of tinea pedis (athlete's foot) and tinea corporis (ringworm) caused by susceptible fungi, including Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum.
Luzu contains luliconazole, an imidazole antifungal that inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol demethylase, disrupting ergosterol synthesis and compromising the fungal cell membrane, which prevents fungal growth and replication.
Luzu is for topical use only and should not be applied to the eyes, mouth, or vagina. Patients should use the medication for the full prescribed duration and avoid covering treated areas unless directed by a healthcare provider. Common side effects may include application site reactions such as redness, itching, or burning.
