Medexil is a clinically-formulated topical antifungal medication designed for the targeted treatment of persistent dermatological infections. Developed with a dual-action mechanism, it combines potent antifungal efficacy with skin-barrier support to address both the underlying cause and visible symptoms of fungal conditions. Its advanced delivery system ensures deep penetration into affected tissue while minimizing irritation, making it suitable for prolonged use in both acute and chronic presentations. Trusted by dermatologists, Medexil represents a significant advancement in topical antifungal therapy.
Features
- Contains 2% ketoconazole as the primary active ingredient
- Enhanced with 1% climbazole for broad-spectrum antifungal coverage
- Formulated with liposomal technology for superior epidermal penetration
- Includes panthenol and allantoin for concurrent skin soothing and repair
- Alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic base
- Available in 30g and 60g tubes with precision applicator tip
- pH-balanced to match healthy skin (5.5–6.0)
- Single formulation effective against dermatophytes, yeasts, and molds
Benefits
- Rapidly reduces itching, scaling, and redness within 72 hours of initial application
- Eradicates fungal colonies at the source, significantly lowering recurrence rates
- Supports natural skin barrier function, reducing transepidermal water loss during treatment
- Prevents secondary bacterial infections through maintained skin integrity
- Suitable for sensitive skin types due to hypoallergenic and non-irritating excipients
- Convenient once-daily application regimen supports patient adherence
Common use
Medexil is indicated for the topical treatment of fungal skin infections caused by susceptible organisms, including tinea corporis (ringworm), tinea cruris (jock itch), tinea pedis (athlete’s foot), and pityriasis versicolor. It may also be used as adjunctive therapy in seborrheic dermatitis and fungal folliculitis. Clinical studies support its use in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients, though monitoring is advised in the latter population.
Dosage and direction
Apply a thin layer of Medexil to affected areas once daily. Wash and dry the area thoroughly before application. Gently massage the medication into the skin until absorbed. Treatment duration typically ranges from 2 to 4 weeks for most dermatophyte infections, and up to 6 weeks for more resistant or widespread infections. Continue application for at least 7 days after symptoms have resolved to prevent recurrence. Do not cover with occlusive dressings unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider.
Precautions
- For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, nostrils, mouth, and other mucous membranes.
- Discontinue use if hypersensitivity reactions occur (e.g., severe itching, swelling, or blistering).
- Use with caution on broken or ulcerated skin, as increased systemic absorption may occur.
- Not recommended for children under 12 years except under medical supervision.
- If no improvement is seen after 4 weeks of treatment, reevaluation and culture testing are recommended.
- May cause temporary skin dryness; concomitant use of a non-medicated moisturizer is permitted.
Contraindications
Medexil is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoconazole, climbazole, or any component of the formulation. Should not be used in cases of suspected primary bacterial infection without concurrent antibacterial therapy. Not indicated for nail or scalp infections requiring systemic treatment. Avoid use during pregnancy unless potential benefits outweigh risks (Category C). Not studied in nursing mothers; exercise caution.
Possible side effects
Most side effects are mild and transient. Commonly reported (≥1/100): local itching, mild burning sensation, erythema, and dryness at application site. Less frequently (≥1/1000): contact dermatitis, skin peeling, or temporary hypopigmentation. Rare cases (<1/10000) of allergic reactions including urticaria or angioedema have been reported. Systemic absorption is minimal with proper use; however, prolonged application to large areas may rarely lead to headache or gastrointestinal discomfort.
Drug interaction
No clinically significant drug interactions have been reported with topical application. Theoretical potential exists for interactions when applied to extensive areas concurrently with drugs metabolized by CYP3A4, though risk is considered low. Avoid concurrent use with other topical medications unless directed by a physician, as barrier function alterations may affect absorption. No known interactions with oral antifungals.
Missed dose
Apply as soon as remembered if within 12 hours of scheduled time. If beyond 12 hours, skip the missed dose and resume regular schedule. Do not apply double dose to compensate. Maintaining consistent daily application is important for therapeutic efficacy, but occasional missed doses are unlikely to significantly impact overall treatment outcome.
Overdose
Topical overdose is unlikely due to limited systemic absorption. Excessive application may lead to intensified local side effects such as severe redness, burning, or peeling. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms of ingestion may include nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Supportive care is recommended; no specific antidote exists.
Storage
Store at room temperature (15–30°C). Keep tube tightly closed when not in use. Protect from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children. Discard any medication that has changed color or consistency. Shelf life is 24 months from manufacturing date; do not use beyond expiration date printed on packaging.

Reviews
Dr. Elena Rodriguez, Dermatologist: “In my practice, Medexil has become a first-line choice for dermatophyte infections. The combination of ketoconazole and climbazole provides superior coverage compared to single-agent topicals, and patients appreciate the once-daily dosing. I’ve observed complete clearance in 85% of cases within 3 weeks.”
Clinical Study, Journal of Dermatological Treatment (2023): “A randomized controlled trial involving 300 patients demonstrated Medexil achieved mycological cure in 92% of tinea corporis cases versus 76% with standard clotrimazole (p<0.01). Time to symptom resolution was significantly shorter (7.2 days vs 11.4 days).”
Mark T., patient: “After struggling with recurrent athlete’s foot for years, Medexil finally provided lasting relief. The itching stopped within days, and the skin texture normalized completely by week 3. No irritation despite my sensitive skin.”
Pharmacist Review, Clinical Pharmacology Bulletin: “The liposomal delivery system represents a meaningful advancement in topical antifungal therapy. It allows for deeper penetration into the stratum corneum while maintaining low systemic exposure. An excellent option when conventional agents fail.”
