Ringworm (Tinea Corporis): Ringworm is a fungal infection that can affect various areas of the body, including the skin. Liranaftate is effective in treating ringworm by stopping the growth and spread of the fungus, leading to resolution of the infection and relief of symptoms such as itching and redness.
Other Fungal Infections: Liranaftate may also be used to treat other fungal infections of the skin, as determined by a healthcare professional. It is generally effective against dermatophyte fungi, which are the primary cause of fungal skin infections.
Prevention of Fungal Infections: In some cases, liranaftate may be used prophylactically to prevent the recurrence of fungal infections in individuals who are prone to such infections or who have a history of recurrent fungal skin conditions.
Topical Antifungal Therapy: Liranaftate is applied topically to the affected area of the skin as directed by a healthcare professional. It is generally well-tolerated and has a low risk of systemic side effects when used as directed.
Combination Therapy: In some cases, liranaftate may be combined with other antifungal medications or topical agents to enhance its effectiveness or broaden its spectrum of activity against different types of fungi.
Adverse Reactions: While liranaftate is generally safe and well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or allergic reactions at the site of application. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided by a healthcare professional.
We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
