Filoma Solution

Filoma Solution is a customized topical medication dedicated to addressing fungal infections. It combines three fungal infection-fighting active ingredients to assist providers in meeting the individual needs of each individual patient with convenience and ease, as determined by each prescriber.  

Being a topical solution, Filoma Solution stands out from its branded and generic counterparts, as over-the-counter products only offer fluconazole in oral form. 

Filoma Solution combines three active ingredients commonly prescribed to target fungal infections to ensure a well-rounded, personalized formulation clinically different from branded or generic anti-fungal medications. These active ingredients include: 

• Ciclopirox is a medicinal agent often used topically to treat fungal infections. This anti-fungal is often used on infected nails to prevent the growth of the fungus. 

• This particular solution contains ciclopirox at a potency of 8%. 

• Fluconazole is another medicinal agent used for the treatment of fungal infections. It is often used on more serious fungal infections, stopping the growth of the fungus. 

• This particular solution contains fluconazole at a potency of 1%. 

• Terbinafine HCL is an anti-fungal agent that aims to pause the growth of the fungus causing the infection. 

• This particular solution contains terbinafine at a potency of 1%. 

This combination of topical ciclopirox, fluconazole, and terbinafine is one characteristic that makes Filoma Solution unique from branded or generic medications. 

SKNV’s Filoma Solution is also distinct because it is formulated without certain inactive ingredients that could be potential allergens or irritants for certain patients, as determined by the patient’s prescriber, including disodium laureth sulfosuccinate, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl acetate, and benzyl alcohol. 

Patients should use their Filoma Solution exactly as their doctor tells them. This customized formulation is for topical use only and should be stored in a cool, dry, and dark place. 

Generally, as an anti-fungal solution, providers recommend applying a thin layer of the solution on the affected area. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. 

If you realize that you forgot to apply Filoma Solution, apply the medication as soon as you remember; however, if you are close to applying your next dose, skip the missed dose and apply as normal.  

Especially for fungal infections on the nails or toenails, a doctor might recommend that you trim your nails regularly, especially the affected nails; using nail clippers and nail files can help remove a loose nail or an affected nail area. It is best to avoid using nail polish or nail cosmetic products on top of a nail fungus, even while using this medication. 

Tell your doctor immediately if you experience any adverse reactions while using your prescription, which may include application site redness, irritation, itchiness, or burning. Again, it is optimal to follow your doctor’s exact directions about your prescription use.

Patients should tell their healthcare professional about other medicines/drugs, supplements, or products they are using concurrently with Filoma Solution. It is vital to follow your prescriber’s exact directions about using the medication.
