What Lomexin is and what it is used for
Lomexin contains, as an active substance, fenticonazole nitrate. It has antifungal activity on dermatophytes (Trichophyton, Epidermophyton, Microsporum), Candida albicans and other yeasts (Malassezia furfur) and antibacterial on Gram positive bacteria. Lomexin cream is indicated in cutaneous candidiasis, commonly caused by Candida albicans: intertrigo, especially genito-crural, anal and perianal or at the level of the commissure of the lips; onixis and perionixis, as adjuvant treatment; dermatophytes: dermatophytes of the hairless skin, genito-crural intertrigo, and toes; Pityriasis versicolor.
Method of administration
Always wash your hands with warm water and soap before and after administration. Before administration, wash thoroughly and dry the affected area. After applying the cream, the area should be massaged gently.
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infecting microorganism and the location of the infection. In general this can be: intertrigo: 2-3 weeks; onixis and perionaxis: 2 months; dermatophytes of hairless skin and intertrigo of large skin folds: 2-4 weeks; intertrigo of the toes: 3-6 weeks; Pityriasis versicolor: 2-4 weeks.

Possible side effects
Usually, Lomexin is well tolerated. The occurrence of systemic effects is unlikely due to the very low level of absorption of fenticonazole in the skin or vaginal mucosa. However, in case of skin lesions, administration on large areas of the skin or in the infant (due to the body surface area / weight ratio as well as the effect of diapers) the possibility of their appearance must be considered.
Rarely, manifestations of local intolerance such as burning sensation or exacerbation of pruritus may occur, which subside during treatment. Allergic reactions may also occur.
Treatment should be discontinued in case of local intolerance or an allergic reaction.
