Pregnancy
There are no available data with use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage; in animal reproduction studies with pregnant rats and rabbits, there were no adverse developmental effects observed with subcutaneous administration of luliconazole during organogenesis at doses up to 3 and 24 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD)

Mechanism of Action
Imidazole antifungal that alters the fungal cell membrane; interacts with 14-alpha demethylase (an enzyme necessary for conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol), inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol which is an essential component of the membrane; increases cell permeability causing leakage of cellular contents
