Used as a topical ointment or cream in the treatment of Tinea infections. Tinea infections are superficial fungal infections caused by three species of fungi collectively known as dermatophytes (Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton). Commonly these infections are named for the body part affected, including tinea corporis (general skin), tinea cruris (groin), and tinea pedis (feet).
Haloprogin is a halogenated phenolic ether administered topically for dermotaphytic infections. The mechanism of action is unknown, but is thought to be via inhibition of oxygen uptake and disruption of yeast membrane structure and function. There is a higher incidence of cutaneous side effects with haloprogin, including irritation, burning, vesiculation (blisters), scaling, and itching. It is generally used when the infection is unresponsive to other antifungals.
UsesHaloprogin is a topical antifungal agent used in the treatment of dermatophytic and monilial infections.
UsesAntibacterial.
General Description3-Iodo-2-propynyl-2,4,5-trichlorophenyl ether (Halotex)crystallizes as white to pale yellow forms that are sparinglysoluble in water and very soluble in ethanol. It is an etherealderivative of a phenol. Haloprogin is used as a 1% cream forthe treatment of superficial tinea infections.Formulations of haloprogin should be protected fromlight because the compound is photosensitive. Haloprogin isavailable as a solution and a cream, both in a 1% concentration.Haloprogin is probably not the first topical agent thatshould be recommended. Although the cure rates for topicalfungal infections are relatively high, they come at a highprice. The lesion typically worsens before it improves.Inflammation and painful irritation are common.
