Micetal (Flutrimazole)

Flutrimazole blocks the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α‑demethylase, which is required for ergosterol synthesis. By preventing ergosterol formation, the drug disrupts the fungal cell membrane, inhibiting growth and leading to death of susceptible fungi.

The dosage and frequency of Micetal are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the type and extent of the infection, patient age, and other clinical factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.

Safety data for topical flutrimazole in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Healthcare providers usually weigh the benefits against potential risks before prescribing. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss use with their clinician.

To order 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 provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Micetal (flutrimazole) belongs to the imidazole class, similar to clotrimazole and ketoconazole. Compared with some alternatives, flutrimazole offers a broad spectrum against dermatophytes and yeasts and is formulated for topical use, but choice of therapy depends on infection type, resistance patterns and clinician preference.

Micetal should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and store out of reach of children to maintain product stability.

Micetal is a topical preparation applied to clean, dry skin. The prescribed amount is spread thinly over the affected area, usually once or twice daily, and gently rubbed in. Hands should be washed after application, and the treated area should be covered only if directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks, though rare, include allergic contact dermatitis that may cause swelling, blistering, or severe skin irritation. If systemic absorption occurs over large body areas, rare hepatic enzyme elevations have been reported. Patients should stop use and seek medical attention if severe reactions develop.

Micetal should not be used by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to flutrimazole or any other component of the formulation. It is also contraindicated on broken, inflamed, or mucous membrane surfaces, and should be avoided in patients where systemic azole therapy is ongoing without medical supervision.
