About Beclomethasone+luliconazole
Beclomethasone+luliconazole is a topical antifungal medicine used to treat fungal skin infections like ringworm of the foot (tinea pedis or athlete's foot), ringworm of the groin (tinea cruris or jock itch), and ringworm of the body (tinea corporis). Fungal infections are skin diseases caused by fungi that can be contagious. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness, and skin scaling.
Beclomethasone+luliconazole contains a combination of two drugs: Luliconazole (antifungal) and Beclomethasone (corticosteroid).

Beclomethasone dipropionate reduces swelling, redness, and itching by inhibiting inflammatory chemical messengers.
Beclomethasone+luliconazole is for external use only. Always use the right amount of medication as advised by your doctor. Some people may experience side effects like irritation, burning sensation, redness, swelling, itching, and stinging sensation. Most of these side effects are generally mild and will gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor for advice.
