🧴 Key Ingredients & What It Treats

The cream is a multi-component topical used for mixed fungal and bacterial skin infections with inflammation, combining:

• Ketoconazole 2% – antifungal
• Tolnaftate 1% – antifungal
• Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline – antibacterial/antifungal
• Neomycin 0.1% – antibiotic
• Clobetasol propionate 0.05% – potent corticosteroid
• Preservative (chlorocresol) – prevents contamination (Torque Pharma, Netmeds)

Common Uses:

• Athlete’s foot, jock itch, ringworm
• Candida or seborrheic dermatitis
• Mixed infections with redness, swelling, itch, and mild bacterial involvement (Netmeds, TrueMeds)

💡 How to Use

• Apply topically: a thin layer to clean, dry skin 1–3× daily, as directed (TrueMeds, Netmeds)
• Duration: Typically short-term (1–2 weeks) to minimize steroid-related effects (1mg)
• Precautions: Avoid in infants (<2 yrs), on the face unless prescribed, on broken skin, and near eyes (1mg)

⚠️ Side Effects

Common (usually mild & local):

• Burning, stinging, itching, redness, irritation, dryness
• Possible rashes or flaking skin (Netmeds)

Less common/serious (especially with prolonged use):

• Skin thinning, stretch marks, acne, increased hair growth
• Allergic reactions: rash, swelling, difficulty breathing—stop use and seek help if these occur (Netmeds)

📌 Important Warnings

• Skin thinning: due to steroid, avoid prolonged use or occlusion (1mg, Netmeds)
• Allergy risk: if sensitive to corticosteroids or antibiotics
• Pregnancy & breastfeeding: use only if clearly needed and under medical supervision (Netmeds, Netmeds)
• Children & elderly: use cautiously; not for those under 2 years (Netmeds)

✅ Usage Tips

1. Keep area clean and dry – moisture worsens infections
2. Complete full course, even if symptoms improve early (TrueMeds, 1mg)
3. Avoid mixing with other topical products unless advised
4. Monitor skin changes – stop use if excessive thinning, redness, or new symptoms appear
5. See a doctor if no improvement in 1–2 weeks
