Propyzole NF Cream
PRODUCT DETAILS
About Propyzole NF Cream
CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE belongs to the class of dermatological medication, primarily used to treat fungal skin infections. 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.
CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE consists of two medicines, namely: Clobetasol (corticosteroid) and Clotrimazole (antifungal). Clobetasol is a highly potent corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic (relieves itching), and vasoconstrictive (narrows blood vessels) properties. It blocks the production of chemical mediators of inflammation (such as kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes, and prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. On the other hand, Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication. It is used to treat various fungal infections, such as vaginal yeast infections, oral thrush, and ringworm. Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. It is also used to treat athlete’s foot (fungal infection between the toes due to sweating) and jock itch (fungal infection in the skin of the genitals, inner thighs, and buttocks).
CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE is available in the form of topical formulations like cream. Use this medication on the skin only as advised by the doctor. Common side effects of CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE are burning, irritation, itching, redness, and thinning of skin at the application site. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth while using CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE. Rinse it off with water thoroughly if you get the cream in these areas. Brief your medical history to the doctor, if you are allergic to CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE or any of its components. Therapy with topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol should be administered cautiously in patients with bacterial, fungal, viral, and protozoa infections. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history of liver, kidney diseases, glaucoma, cataract, poor blood circulation, immune system problems, diabetes, and adrenal gland diseases. Please consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman before using CLOBETASOL+CLOTRIMAZOLE.
