Luliderm is a brand name of luliconazole and it comes in the form of a topical cream. It belongs to the class of drugs known as antifungal agents (azole class anti-infectives).

In the absence of ergosterol fungal cell wall is damaged that results in an increase in permeability of fungal cell wall this causes leakage of nutrients which kills the fungi.
