Ciclopirox is a prescription antifungal medication used to treat a variety of fungal infections that affect the skin. Ciclopirox comes in several different forms, including a gel, cream, lotion, shampoo, and topical solution.
This article will focus on ciclopirox gel, specifically the version manufactured by Perrigo. Ciclopirox gel (Perrigo) is typically prescribed for fungal infections where a gel formulation is preferred, perhaps due to its ability to dry quickly or penetrate specific areas of the skin more effectively. Your doctor or other healthcare provider will determine if the gel is the right form for you.
It’s very important to talk to your doctor before using ciclopirox gel (Perrigo) and to carefully follow their instructions for application. This will help ensure that the medication is effective and that you avoid any potential skin irritation.
