Ciclopirox olamine, marketed under brand names such as Ciclodan, Loprox and Penlac, belongs to a class of medications known as antifungal medications.

Ciclopirox is thought to work against fungi by inhibiting specific metal-dependent enzymes in the cells of fungi, leading to the accumulation of compounds known as peroxidases. Ciclopirox is generally used topically to treat specific dermal infections such as tinea corporis, tinea cruris and tinea pedis. When used in treating toenail fungus infections, ciclopirox is applied as a nail lacquer and often used as a complementary treatment in mild cases that do not involve the lunula.
