Oxiconazole, sold under the brand name Oxistat among others, is an antifungal medication used to treat athlete's foot, jock itch, ringworm, tinea versicolor, and yeast infections.[1] It is typically applied to the skin as a cream or lotion.[1]

Common side effects include irritation, burning, and itching.[1] Other side effects may include contact dermatitis.[1] Use appears to be safe in pregnancy, though has not been well studied.[2] It is in the azole family of medications.[1] It is believed to work by increasing the permeability of the cellular membrane.[1]

Oxiconazole was patented in 1975 and approved for medical use in 1983.[3] It is available as a generic medication.[4] In the United States a tube of 30 grams costs about 110 USD.[4]
