Uses

Myk 1 is a topical antifungal agent used for the treatment of tinea cruris, tinea corporis, and tinea versicolor caused by susceptible fungal strains.

Myk 1 solution 1.0% is indicated for the treatment of tinea cruris and tinea corporis caused by Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Microsporum canis; and for the treatment of tinea versicolor. Effectiveness has not been proven in tinea pedis (athlete’s foot).

Myk 1 is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Pityriasis versicolor, Tinea Corporis, Tinea Cruris, Tinea Pedis

Toxicity

Myk 1 has been shown to be embryotoxic in a study of rats given 125 times the human dose (in mg/kg) and also resulted in prolonged gestation and dystocia. There are no adequate or controlled studies in pregnant women, therefore sulconazole should only be used during pregnancy if potential benefit justifies potential risk to the fetus.

Food Interaction

No interactions found.

Elimination Route

Total sulconazole systemic absorption after topical administration was ~8.71% of the dose.

Elimination Route

About 6.70% of the dose was recovered in urine, and 2.01% in feces over a 7 day collection period. Radioactivity could be detected in both urine and feces at 7 days potentially due to a reservoir effect.
