Clinical improvement with relief of pruritus and other symptoms usually occurs within the first week of treatment. If a patient shows no clinical improvement after four weeks of treatment with Ciclopirox Topical Suspension USP, 0.77% (w/w) (Lotion) the diagnosis should be redetermined. Patients with tinea versicolor usually exhibit clinical and mycological clearing after two weeks of treatment.
Warnings
WARNINGS General - Ciclopirox Topical Suspension USP, 0.77% (w/w) (Lotion) is not for ophthalmic use. Keep out of reach of children.
Clinical Pharmacology
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action Ciclopirox is a hydroxypyridone antifungal agent that acts by chelation of polyvalent cations (Fe 3+ or Al 3+ ), resulting in the inhibition of the metal-dependent enzymes that are responsible for the degradation of peroxides within the fungal cell. Pharmacokinetics Pharmacokinetic studies in men with radiolabeled ciclopirox solution in polyethylene glycol 400, showed an average of 1.3% absorption of the dose when it was applied topically to 750 cm 2 on the back followed by occlusion for 6 hours. The biological half-life was 1.7 hours and excretion occurred via the kidney. Two days after application only 0.01% of the dose applied could be found in the urine. Fecal excretion was negligible. Autoradiographic studies with human cadaver skin showed that ciclopirox penetrates into the hair and through the epidermis and hair follicles into the sebaceous glands and dermis, while a portion of the drug remains in the stratum corneum. In vitro penetration studies in frozen or fresh excised human cadaver and pig skin indicated that the penetration of ciclopirox topical suspension, 0.77% is equivalent to that of ciclopirox cream 0.77%. Therapeutic equivalence of cream and suspension formulations was also indicated by studies of experimentally induced guinea pig and human trichophytosis.

Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility - A 104-week dermal carcinogenicity study in mice was conducted with ciclopirox cream applied at doses up to 1.93% (100 mg/kg/day or 300 mg/m 2 /day). No increase in drug related neoplasms was noted when compared to control. The following in vitro genotoxicity tests have been conducted with ciclopirox: evaluation of gene mutation in the Ames Salmonella and E. coli assays (negative); chromosome aberration assays in V79 Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells, with and without metabolic activation (positive); chromosome aberration assays in V79 Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells in the presence of supplemental Fe 3+ , with and without metabolic activation (negative); gene mutation assays in the HGPRT test with V79 Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells (negative); and a primary DNA damage assay (i.e., unscheduled DNA synthesis assay in A549 human celIs) (negative). An in vitro cell transformation assay in BALB/c 3T3 cells was negative for cell transformation. In an in vivo Chinese hamster bone marrow cytogenetic assay, ciclopirox was negative for chromosome aberrations at a dosage of 5000 mg/kg body weight. A combined oral fertility and embryofetal developmental study was conducted in rats with ciclopirox olamine. No effect on fertility or reproductive performance was noted at the highest dose tested of 3.85 mg/kg/day ciclopirox (approximately 1.2 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area comparisons).

Use the medication for the full treatment time even though signs/symptoms may have improved and notify the physician if there is no improvement after four weeks. 2. Inform the physician if the area of application shows signs of increased irritation (redness, itching, burning, blistering, swelling, oozing) indicative of possible sensitization. 3. Avoid the use of occlusive wrappings or dressings.
Nursing Mothers
Nursing Mothers - It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when Ciclopirox Topical Suspension USP, 0.77% (w/w) (Lotion) is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
Pediatric Use - Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 10 years have not been established.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category B There are no adequate or well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Therefore, Ciclopirox Topical Suspension USP, 0.77% (w/w) (Lotion) should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Oral embryofetal developmental studies were conducted in mice, rats, rabbits and monkeys. Ciclopirox or ciclopirox olamine was orally administered during the period of organogenesis. No maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity or teratogenicity were noted at the highest doses of 77, 125, 80 and 38.5 mg/kg/day ciclopirox in mice, rats, rabbits and monkeys, respectively (approximately 11, 37, 51 and 24 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area comparisons, respectively). Dermal embryofetaI developmental studies were conducted in rats and rabbits with ciclopirox olamine dissolved in PEG 400. Ciclopirox olamine was topically administered during the period of organogenesis. No maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity or teratogenicity were noted at the highest doses of 92 mg/kg/day and 77 mg/kg/day ciclopirox in rats and rabbits, respectively (approximately 27 and 49 times the maximum recommended human dose based on body surface area comparisons, respectively).
