Indication

Cicloderm Cream is indicated for the topical treatment of the following dermal infections: Tinea pedis, Tinea cruris and Tinea corporis due to Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum and Microsporum canis, candidiasis (moniliasis) due to Candida albicans, and Tinea (pityriasis) versicolor due to Malassezia furfur. Cicloderm Cream is also highly effective against some gram negative & some gram positive bacteria. Owing to its anti-inflammatory effects, Ciclopirox Olamine alone is sufficient to treat mild to moderate inflammatory fungal infections.


Dosage & Administration

Gently massage Cicloderm cream into the affected and surrounding skin areas twice daily, in the morning and evening. Clinical improvement with relief of pruritus and other symptoms usually occurs within the first week of treatment. If a patient shows no clinical improvement after four weeks of treatment with Cicloderm cream the diagnosis should be redetermined. Patients with tinea versicolor usually exhibit clinical and mycological clearing after two weeks of treatment.
