Product Overview

Astat Solution 1% is a high-quality topical antifungal solution 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 solution formulation is a clear, quick-drying liquid that contains alcohol (ethanol), suitable for hairy areas or between toes. It evaporates quickly without residue, making it ideal for hard-to-reach areas.

Dosage Guidelines

Apply Astat Solution 1% once daily to the affected area. Ensure the area is clean and dry before application. Use just enough solution to cover the lesion, and let it absorb. 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. Allow the solution to dry and use with caution on cracked or raw skin (it may sting due to alcohol). Even if symptoms improve early, do not stop until the recommended course is completed. If the infection hasn’t improved after completing treatment or if it worsens, seek medical advice.

Possible Side Effects

Astat Solution 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, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Do not use this product if you are allergic to lanoconazole or any ingredient. For external use only – avoid applying to severely broken skin and keep it out of your eyes.

FAQ

Q: What if I miss a dose?
A: Apply the solution as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed application and continue with your regular once-daily schedule. Never apply extra solution to make up for a missed dose.

Q: How should I store this medication?
A: Store the solution at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children. Do not expose it to high heat or open flame, as it contains alcohol. Do not freeze.

Q: Is it safe to use long-term?
A: It has minimal absorption into the bloodstream, so systemic side effects are very unlikely. Nevertheless, continuous long-term use beyond the necessary treatment period is not advised. If the infection still persists after the usual course (typically a few weeks), consult your doctor instead of extending use on your own.

Q: Can I use it with other medications?
A: Lanoconazole solution generally will not affect other medications, since so little of it enters the body. It can be used alongside most oral drugs. If you need to apply other topical treatments on the same area, check with a healthcare provider to prevent any potential interaction or skin irritation.

Q: Should I continue using it after my symptoms go away?
A: Yes. Continue using Astat Solution for the entire recommended duration even if symptoms disappear early. Ending treatment prematurely could allow the fungus to survive and cause a recurrence. Athlete’s foot typically needs around 4 weeks of therapy, and other infections about 2 weeks.
