  • Therapeutic Class Overview Antifungals, Topical
    Therapeutic Class Overview Antifungals, Topical INTRODUCTION The topical antifungals are available in multiple dosage forms and are indicated for a number of fungal infections and related conditions. In general, these agents are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis, onychomycosis, seborrheic dermatitis, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, and tinea versicolor (Clinical Pharmacology 2018). The antifungals may be further classified into the following categories based upon their chemical structures: allylamines (naftifine, terbinafine [only available over the counter (OTC)]), azoles (clotrimazole, econazole, efinaconazole, ketoconazole, luliconazole, miconazole, oxiconazole, sertaconazole, sulconazole), benzylamines (butenafine), hydroxypyridones (ciclopirox), oxaborole (tavaborole), polyenes (nystatin), thiocarbamates (tolnaftate [no FDA-approved formulations]), and miscellaneous (undecylenic acid [no FDA-approved formulations]) (Micromedex 2018). The topical antifungals are available as single entity and/or combination products. Two combination products, nystatin/triamcinolone and Lotrisone (clotrimazole/betamethasone), contain an antifungal and a corticosteroid preparation. The corticosteroid helps to decrease inflammation and indirectly hasten healing time. The other combination product, Vusion (miconazole/zinc oxide/white petrolatum), contains an antifungal and zinc oxide. Zinc oxide acts as a skin protectant and mild astringent with weak antiseptic properties and helps to

    Updated June 07, 2021 Bulk Drug Substances Nominated for Use in Compounding Under Section 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act Three categories of bulk drug substances: • Category 1: Bulk Drug Substances Under Evaluation • Category 2: Bulk Drug Substances that Raise Significant Safety Risks • Category 3: Bulk Drug Substances Nominated Without Adequate Support Updates to Categories of Substances Nominated for the 503B Bulk Drug Substances List1 • Add the following entry to category 2 due to serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity, and possible carcinogenicity when quinacrine hydrochloride is used for intrauterine administration for non- surgical female sterilization: 2,3 o Quinacrine Hydrochloride for intrauterine administration • Revision to category 1 for clarity: o Modify the entry for “Quinacrine Hydrochloride” to “Quinacrine Hydrochloride (except for intrauterine administration).” • Revision to category 1 to correct a substance name error: o Correct the error in the substance name “DHEA (dehydroepiandosterone)” to “DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone).” 1 For the purposes of the substance names in the categories, hydrated forms of the substance are included in the scope of the substance name. 2 Quinacrine HCl was previously reviewed in 2016 as part of FDA’s consideration of this bulk drug substance for inclusion on the 503A Bulks List. As part of this review, the Division of Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Products (DBRUP), now the Division of Urology, Obstetrics and Gynecology (DUOG), evaluated the nomination of quinacrine for intrauterine administration for non-surgical female sterilization and recommended that quinacrine should not be included on the 503A Bulks List for this use. This recommendation was based on the lack of information on efficacy comparable to other available methods of female sterilization and serious safety concerns of mutagenicity, cytotoxicity and possible carcinogenicity in use of quinacrine for this indication and route of administration.

  • Luzu (Luliconzole)
    Luzu (luliconzole) STRENGTH DOSAGE FORM ROUTE GPID 1% Cream Topical 35638 MANUFACTURER Valeant Pharmaceuticals INDICATION For the topical treatment of interdigital tinea pedis, tinea cruris, and tinea corporis caused by the organisms Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum, in patients 18 years of age and older. DRUG CLASS DERMATOLOGY – ANTIINFECTIVE; TOPICAL ANTIFUNGALS PLACE IN THERAPY Luzu is an azole antifungal that joins several other topical creams, over-the-counter and prescription, that are available to treat tinea infections. The two types of topical antifungals primarily used are azoles (clotrimazole, ketoconazole and miconazole) and allylamines (naftifine and terbinafine). Other agents that can be utilized but do not fall within either of these classes include: tolnaftate, haloprogin, ciclopirox and butenafine. Tinea infections are superficial fungal infections caused by dermatophytes commonly: Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. Tinea infections are often named for the location involved, for example, tinea pedis (feet), tinea cruris (groin) and tinea corporis (general skin). These tinea infections are commonly referred to as athlete’s foot (pedis), jock itch (cruris) and ringworm (corporis) and are typically superficial in nature. It is unlikely that the physician will know the infecting species of the dermophyte infection but will decide on treatment based on clinical symptoms for example: acute tinea pedis is more often associated with Trichophyton mentagrophytes and the chronic form with Trichophyton rubrum. The dosing for the different agents used to treat tinea infections can range from once to twice daily application and duration can be anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. Luzu is most likely to be utilized in patients with more difficult to treat dermophyte infections.
