Lunoid-S Cream 30 gm belongs to a class of drugs called antifungals. It primarily treats fungal skin infections, including ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).
Lunoid-S Cream 30 gm is a combination of two medications: Luliconazole and salicylic acid. Luliconazole has a broad spectrum of antifungal activity. The enzyme lanosterol demethylase is thought to be inhibited by Luliconazole. Lanosterol demethylase is required to synthesise ergosterol, a key component of fungal cell membranes. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that removes dead skin cells and softens skin by breaking down the protein keratin (a part of the skin structure). As a result, Lunoid-S Cream 30 gm kills the fungi and clears the infection.
