About Ciprolar-FC Cream

CIPROFLOXACIN+CLOTRIMAZOLE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives with steroids’ used to treat the skin's fungal and bacterial infections. Besides this, CIPROFLOXACIN+CLOTRIMAZOLE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE also reduces swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin problems. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows in the body and causes infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

CIPROFLOXACIN+CLOTRIMAZOLE+FLUOCINOLONE ACETONIDE is a combination of three drugs, namely: Ciprofloxacin (antibiotic), Clotrimazole (antifungal), and Fluocinolone acetonide (corticosteroid). Ciprofloxacin belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by interfering with a bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria. Thereby, it kills bacteria and prevents the spread of the infection. The fungal cell membranes are essential for their survival as they prevent unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Clotrimazole belongs to the class of antifungals that works by damaging the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Fluocinolone acetonide is a corticosteroid that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally.
