Lunaz Lotion is a topical antifungal medication
primarily used to treat fungal skin infections. It contains the active
ingredient Luliconazole, which is highly effective against dermatophytes.
Benefits of Lunaz Lotion

ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), and jock itch (tinea

Ø Relieves Symptoms: Reduces itching, redness,
inflammation, scaling, and burning associated with fungal infections.
