Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Sulconazole Nitrate Work?

Sulconazole nitrate works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This disruption weakens the cell membrane, leading to leakage of cellular contents and eventual death of the fungus. By stopping the growth of the fungi, the medication effectively treats the infection and prevents it from spreading.

Common Dosages

  • Sulconazole nitrate is available as a 1% cream or solution, and the typical dosage depends on the type of fungal infection being treated.

Typical Dosing

  • For tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and tinea pedis: Apply a thin layer of sulconazole nitrate 1% cream or solution to the affected area once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the infection.
  • For tinea versicolor: Apply a thin layer once daily to the affected area, typically for 2 to 3 weeks.
  • The treatment duration may vary, but it typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the infection type.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

Who Shouldn't Take Sulconazole Nitrate?

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream or solution.
  • Apply a thin layer of the medication to the affected area and gently rub it in.
  • Use the medication for the full prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve earlier, to ensure the infection is fully treated and prevent a recurrence.
  • Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If the medication gets into these areas, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • If treating athlete's foot, keep the feet dry and change socks frequently to prevent moisture buildup that could worsen the infection.
