Micetal

Flutrimazole, the active ingredient in Micetal, is an imidazole antifungal presented as a topical formulation for skin application. It treats superficial fungal infections such as dermatophyte and candidal infections in adult and pediatric patients.

GNH USA supplies Micetal as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Flutrimazole is used to treat fungal skin conditions by inhibiting the growth of dermatophytes and yeasts.

Dermatophyte infection: reduces fungal proliferation and promotes healing of tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and related lesions. Candidal skin infection: eradicates Candida species causing intertriginous and diaper dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis: helps control Malassezia‑related scaling and erythema on the scalp and face.

Flutrimazole may cause local skin reactions when applied topically.

Common Side Effects: - Burning sensation at the application site - Mild itching or pruritus - Redness or erythema - Dryness or flaking of the skin - Slight stinging or tingling

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic contact dermatitis with swelling and blistering - Severe skin irritation or ulceration - Systemic hypersensitivity reactions (rare) - Hepatic enzyme elevation with extensive use over large body areas

When using Micetal, consider the following safety measures.

Avoid use on broken or inflamed skin: apply only to intact epidermis. Known hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reaction occurs. Do not apply to eyes, mucous membranes, or genital mucosa. Limit area of application: avoid excessive coverage to reduce systemic absorption. Keep out of reach of children: store securely to prevent accidental exposure. Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Flutrimazole may interact with other agents when used concurrently.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Systemic azole antifungals: may increase systemic exposure if large skin areas are treated. - Strong CYP450 inhibitors: could raise systemic levels of flutrimazole.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Topical corticosteroids: may mask irritation signs. - Skin moisturizers or occlusive dressings: can alter drug absorption. - Alcohol‑based cleansers: may increase local irritation. - Other topical antifungals: risk of additive skin irritation.
