How does Luflux work?

ravi udawat MBBS , General Physician

Luflux contains luliconazole which is an antifungal agent that works by preventing the synthesis of ergosterol (a component of the cell membrane of fungi) through inhibition of an enzyme known as lanosterol demethylase. In the absence of ergosterol fungal cell wall is damaged that results in an increase in permeability of fungal cell wall this causes leakage of nutrients which kills the fungi. Luflux is effective against fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum.
