Miclast

Ciclopirox, the active ingredient in Miclast, is an antifungal presented as a topical formulation for skin use. It is indicated for the treatment of superficial fungal infections of the skin in adults and children when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

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

Miclast is a topical antifungal that targets superficial fungal infections of the skin. - Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis): reduces fungal growth and relieves itching and scaling. - Ringworm (tinea corporis): clears lesions and prevents spread to adjacent skin. - Jock itch (tinea cruris): alleviates redness and irritation. - Candidal intertrigo: controls yeast overgrowth in skin folds.

Topical ciclopirox may cause local skin reactions, although most users tolerate it well.

Common Side Effects: - Burning sensation at the application site. - Itching or pruritus. - Redness or erythema. - Dryness or peeling of the skin. - Mild irritation or stinging.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Contact dermatitis with swelling. - Severe allergic reaction (e.g., urticaria, angioedema). - Extensive skin blistering or necrosis. - Systemic hypersensitivity (rare).

When using Miclast, consider the following safety measures. - Avoid application on broken or inflamed skin: limit use to intact epidermis. - Discontinue if severe irritation occurs: seek medical advice. - Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes: avoid accidental contact. - Keep out of reach of children: store securely. - Do not apply to large body areas without supervision: limit to affected sites. - Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

Topical ciclopirox has limited systemic drug interaction potential, but certain combinations may affect tolerability.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with other topical antifungals containing strong irritants: may increase skin irritation. - Application over medicated skin preparations containing steroids: can mask infection signs.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Use with topical antibiotics: monitor for additive allergic reactions. - Combination with cosmetic products containing alcohol or fragrances: may enhance local irritation. - Overlapping use with occlusive dressings: increase drug absorption, watch for local adverse effects.
