Systemic antifungals

Indications of systemic antifungal therapy in dermatophytosis

The following are the situations where systemic antifungal therapy may be preferred[6]:

  • Tinea capitis.
  • Onychomycosis.
  • Tinea affecting more than one body part simultaneously, for example, tinea cruris and corporis, or tinea cruris and tinea pedis
  • Widespread Tinea corporis.
  • Widespread Tinea pedis of the sole, heel, or dorsum of the foot or when there is blistering.

Common oral drugs

The following antifungals may be used systemically for dermatophytosis[7][8] :

Condition Drug Dosage Duration
T. corporis/cruris Terbinafine 250 mg OD (3-6mg/kg/day) 2-3 weeks
Itraconazole 200 mg/day 1-2 weeks
Fluconazole 150-300mg/week 3-4 weeks
Griseofulvin 500 mg/day (10-20mg/kg/day) 2-4 weeks
T. pedis Terbinafine 250mg OD 1 week
Itraconazole 100-200 mg/day 2-4 weeks
Fluconazole 150 mg/weel 4 weeks
Griseofulvin 750-1000 mg/day 4-8 weeks

Newer oral drugs

  • Recently, posoconazole was found to be effective in a patient with extensive dermatophytic skin and nail infection with underlying CARD9 mutation.[9]
  • Fresh leaves of Eucalyptus globulus Labill.[10]
  • Demicidin.[11]
