Product Overview

Astat Cream 1% is a high-quality topical antifungal cream containing 1% lanoconazole, manufactured in Japan. Lanoconazole is a broad-spectrum imidazole antifungal that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol in the fungal cell membrane, effectively eliminating the fungus. This medication is used to treat common skin fungal infections such as athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), jock itch (tinea cruris), candidiasis of the skin (e.g., intertrigo, paronychia), and tinea versicolor. The cream formulation is light and non-greasy, making it especially suitable for moist or oozing lesions. It absorbs quickly without residue.

Dosage Guidelines

Apply Astat Cream 1% once daily to the affected area. Before application, clean and dry the area thoroughly. Use a small amount of cream and gently rub it into the skin. Continue daily use for the full treatment period – typically about 2 weeks for most infections, or up to 4 weeks for stubborn infections like athlete’s foot. Even if symptoms improve before this period ends, it’s important to continue for the recommended duration to fully eradicate the fungus. If the infection does not improve after the full course of treatment or if it worsens, consult a healthcare professional.

Possible Side Effects

Astat Cream is generally well-tolerated. Mild localized side effects such as redness, slight burning or stinging, or a mild rash (contact dermatitis) may occur. Rarely, small blisters, itching, dryness, cracking, or swelling have been reported. If severe irritation or an allergic reaction (e.g. extensive rash or swelling) occurs, stop use and consult a doctor. Do not use this product if you have a known allergy to lanoconazole or any of its ingredients. For external use only – avoid applying to severely broken or eroded skin, and keep it out of your eyes.

FAQ

Q: What if I miss a dose?
A: If you forget to apply a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular once-daily schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed one.

Q: How should I store this medication?
A: Store the cream at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze the medication, and keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

Q: Is it safe to use long-term?
A: Used as directed for a few weeks, Astat Cream 1% has minimal absorption into the bloodstream, so systemic side effects are unlikely. However, extended continuous use beyond the necessary period is not recommended. If the infection persists beyond the usual treatment period, consult your doctor instead of prolonging use on your own.

Q: Can I use it with other medications?
A: In most cases, yes. Since lanoconazole is applied topically and very little is absorbed, it typically does not interfere with other oral or systemic medications. However, if you are using other creams or ointments on the same area, it’s best to seek medical advice to avoid any possible interactions or irritation.

Q: Should I continue using it after my symptoms go away?
A: Yes. Continue using Astat for the full recommended course even if your skin looks healed. Stopping too early may allow the infection to return. For example, athlete’s foot often requires ~4 weeks of treatment, and other infections about 2 weeks.
