Uses
Sulconazole nitrate is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent 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). Symptomatic relief usually occurs within a few days after starting Sulconazole nitrate and clinical improvement usually occurs within one week.Dosage
Sulderm Cream 1% dosage
A small amount of the solution should be gently massaged into the affected and surrounding skin areas once or twice daily. Symptomatic relief usually occurs within a few days after starting Sulconazole nitrate, and clinical improvement usually occurs within one week. To reduce the possibility of recurrence, tinea cruris, tinea corporis, and tinea versicolor should be treated for 3 weeks. If significant clinical improvement is not seen after 4 weeks of treatment, an alternate diagnosis should be considered.Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.Geriatric Use: Clinical studies of Sulderm Cream 1%, did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and over to determine whether they respond differently than younger patients. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients.Side Effects
There were no systemic effects and only infrequent cutaneous adverse reactions in 370 patients treated with sulconazole nitrate solution in controlled clinical trials. Approximately 1% of these patients reported itching and 1% burning or stinging. These complaints did not usually interfere with treatment.Precaution
