About Exelderm

What is this medication? Exelderm is a prescription antifungal medication that contains the active ingredient sulconazole nitrate. It is primarily used to treat various fungal skin infections, such as tinea pedis, which is commonly known as athlete's foot. It is also prescribed for tinea cruris, often referred to as jock itch, and tinea corporis, which is known as ringworm. This medication works by inhibiting the growth of the fungi responsible for causing these uncomfortable skin conditions.

The medication is typically available as a cream or a solution designed for topical application directly to the affected area of the skin. In addition to treating common ringworm infections, it is also used to manage tinea versicolor, a fungal infection that causes small, discolored patches on the skin. Patients are generally advised to apply the medication once or twice daily as directed by a healthcare professional to ensure the infection is fully cleared.

Prescribing information

From the FDA-approved label for Exelderm. Official source: DailyMed (NLM) · Label effective Jul 19, 2022

Indications and usage

INDICATIONS AND USAGE EXELDERM (sulconazole nitrate, USP) CREAM, 1.0% is an antifungal agent indicated for the treatment of tinea pedis (athlete's foot), tinea cruris, and tinea corporis caused by Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagro-phytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, and Microsporum canis,* and for the treatment of tinea versicolor. *Efficacy for this organism in the organ system was studied in fewer than ten infections.

Dosage and administration

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION A small amount of cream should be gently massaged into the affected and surrounding skin areas once or twice daily, except in tinea pedis, where administration should be twice daily. Early relief of symptoms is experienced by the majority of patients and clinical improvement may be seen fairly soon after treatment is begun; however, tinea corporis/cruris and tinea versicolor should be treated for 3 weeks and tinea pedis for 4 weeks to reduce the possibility of recurrence. If significant clinical improvement is not seen after 4 to 6 weeks of treatment, an alternate diagnosis should be considered.

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATIONS EXELDERM (sulconazole nitrate, USP) CREAM, 1.0% is contraindicated in patients who have a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients.

Adverse reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS There were no systemic effects and only infrequent cutaneous adverse reactions in 1185 patients treated with sulconazole nitrate cream in controlled clinical trials. Approximately 3% of these patients reported itching, 3% burning or stinging, and 1% redness. These complaints did not usually interfere with treatment.

Use in pregnancy

Pregnancy There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Sulconazole nitrate should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Sulconazole nitrate has been shown to be embryotoxic in rats when given in doses of 125 times the adult human dose (in mg/kg). The drug was not teratogenic in rats or rabbits at oral doses of 50 mg/kg/day. Sulconazole nitrate given orally to rats at a dose 125 times the human dose resulted in prolonged gestation and dystocia. Several females died during the prenatal period, most likely due to labor complications.
