The therapeutic effects of topical omoconazole nitrate (OMZ) on Trichophyton mentagrophytes-infected guinea-pigs were investigated. Once-daily topical application of 0.25, 0.5, 1 or 2% OMZ cream preparation for 14 consecutive days, starting on the fifth day after infection, was therapeutically effective. The effectiveness appeared to increase with the concentration of the active preparation, and was nearly maximal at 1%. OMZ cream preparation (1% or 2%) was superior to 1% bifonazole cream preparation in improving local lesions and culture results. This result suggests that topical OMZ may be clinically useful in the treatment of patients with dermatophytosis and probably those with other superficial mycoses.
