Micetal (Flutrimazole)

Flutrimazole inhibits the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, blocking the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes. This disruption compromises membrane integrity, leading to inhibited growth and death of the fungus at the site of application.

The prescriber determines the appropriate dosage regimen based on the infection type, severity, and patient factors. Typically, a thin layer is applied once or twice daily to the affected skin, but exact instructions must come from a qualified healthcare professional.

Safety of flutrimazole during pregnancy or lactation has not been fully established. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare provider after evaluating the individual situation.

Micetal (flutrimazole) belongs to the azole class and offers a broad spectrum against dermatophytes and yeasts, similar to clotrimazole or miconazole. Compared with some alternatives, it may provide comparable efficacy with a favorable local tolerability profile, but choice of therapy depends on the specific pathogen, infection site, patient history and clinician preference.

Micetal should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture, heat and light. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children. Do not freeze or expose the product to extreme temperatures.

Micetal is applied topically to the clean, dry skin area affected by the fungal infection. A thin layer is spread over the lesion and the surrounding margin, usually once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. Hands should be washed after application unless they are the treatment site.

Although rare, serious adverse reactions can include severe allergic dermatitis, extensive skin rashes such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and systemic hypersensitivity responses. Any signs of swelling, blistering, fever, or widespread rash require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of the product.

Micetal should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to flutrimazole or any other azole antifungal. It is also contraindicated on large areas of broken or inflamed skin, and caution is advised in patients with pre‑existing liver disease or those taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors without medical supervision.
