Frequently asked questions

What is Laurimic used for?+
Laurimic is a prescription‑only antifungal medication containing fenticonazole nitrate. It is indicated for the treatment of vaginal candidiasis and vulvovaginal yeast infections, helping to eliminate the fungal infection and relieve symptoms such as itching, burning, and abnormal discharge.
How does fenticonazole nitrate work?+
Fenticonazole nitrate blocks the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, which is essential for ergosterol synthesis. By disrupting ergosterol production, the drug compromises the fungal cell membrane, inhibiting growth and leading to the death of Candida organisms in the vagina.
What is the usual dose of Laurimic?+
The dosage regimen for Laurimic is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the product’s labeling and the patient’s clinical condition. The prescriber will specify the number of applications, frequency, and duration of therapy.
Is Laurimic safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for fenticonazole nitrate in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product is classified as having an unknown pregnancy category. It should only be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk, after consultation with a healthcare provider.

How does Laurimic compare with other antifungal options?+
Laurimic’s active ingredient, fenticonazole nitrate, offers a broad spectrum against Candida species and a longer residence time in the vaginal canal compared with some azole creams such as clotrimazole or miconazole.
