Micetal (Flutrimazole)

Flutrimazole inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, a key step in the synthesis of ergosterol, the sterol component of fungal cell membranes. By blocking ergosterol production, the drug disrupts membrane integrity, leading to fungal cell death and clearance of the infection.

The specific dosage and duration of Micetal are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the type, location and severity of the infection, as well as patient age and skin condition. The prescriber will provide written instructions for the amount to apply and the frequency of use.

Safety data for flutrimazole during pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers generally weigh the potential benefits against any possible risks before prescribing a topical antifungal to pregnant or nursing individuals. Patients should discuss their situation with a qualified clinician before use.

To request Micetal, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then replies with pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and the necessary import documentation.

Compared with other topical imidazoles such as clotrimazole or miconazole, flutrimazole offers a similar spectrum of activity against dermatophytes but may differ in formulation, skin penetration and patient tolerance. Choice of therapy depends on physician preference, local resistance patterns and individual patient factors.

Store Micetal at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the product from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain stability. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and keep out of reach of children.

Micetal is applied topically to the affected skin area. The prescribed amount is spread in a thin layer and gently rubbed in, usually twice daily or as directed by the prescriber. Hands should be washed before and after application, and the treated area should be kept clean and dry.

Although rare, serious adverse reactions can include severe allergic contact dermatitis, extensive skin swelling, blistering or systemic hypersensitivity. If any of these symptoms develop, the product should be discontinued immediately and medical attention sought. Prompt reporting of severe reactions helps ensure patient safety.

Micetal should not be used on broken or inflamed skin, mucous membranes, or in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to flutrimazole or any other imidazole antifungal. Patients with extensive skin disease or those taking systemic azole medications should consult a healthcare professional before initiating therapy.
