About Knozole-B Cream

BECLOMETASONE+KETOCONAZOLE is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat fungal infections, such as athlete's foot (ringworm of the foot), jock itch (ringworm of the groin), ringworm, and seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaking skin or dandruff). Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Fungi can live in the air, soil, water, and plants. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin.

BECLOMETASONE+KETOCONAZOLE is composed of two medicines: Ketoconazole (long-acting beta-agonist) and Beclometasone (steroid). Ketoconazole is an antifungal and medication.

Ketoconazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. In oral form, Ketoconazole treats Cushing's syndrome (excessive levels of cortisol hormone). Beclometasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Beclometasone effectively treats redness and itchiness eczema (inflamed and itchy skin), psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches), and dermatitis (red and itchy skin).
