About KETOCONAZOLE+TOLNAFTATE+CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE+NEOMYCIN+IODOCHLORHYDROXYQUINOLINE
KETOCONAZOLE+TOLNAFTATE+CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE+NEOMYCIN+IODOCHLORHYDROXYQUINOLINE is used to treat skin infections. Skin infections occur when germs such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites invade the skin and cause irritation, redness, and other issues.
KETOCONAZOLE+TOLNAFTATE+CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE+NEOMYCIN+IODOCHLORHYDROXYQUINOLINE contains Ketoconazole, Tolnaftate, Clobetasol Propionate, Neomycin, and Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline. Ketoconazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Tolnaftate works by stopping the growth of fungi that cause skin infections. Clobetasol Propionate works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Neomycin works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for the survival of the bacteria. Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline belongs to the class of antifungals with additional antibacterial action. Together, KETOCONAZOLE+TOLNAFTATE+CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE+NEOMYCIN+IODOCHLORHYDROXYQUINOLINE helps in treating skin infections.
In some cases, KETOCONAZOLE+TOLNAFTATE+CLOBETASOL PROPIONATE+NEOMYCIN+IODOCHLORHYDROXYQUINOLINE may cause side effects such as skin peeling, dryness, burning sensation, irritation, stinging sensation, itching and redness at the application site.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Skin infections arise when bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites penetrate the skin, causing irritation, redness, and other symptoms. While most skin infections are harmless and easily treated, a few can be dangerous.
There are four major forms of skin infections:
Bacterial skin infections are the most prevalent form of skin infection. They can develop when germs penetrate the skin via a breach, such as a cut, scrape, or insect bite. Common bacterial skin infections include impetigo, cellulitis, and boils.
Viral skin infections occur when viruses infect the skin. Common viral skin illnesses include warts, shingles, and chickenpox.
Fungal skin infections are caused by fungi that grow on the skin. Athlete's foot, ringworm, and jock itch are three common fungal skin illnesses.
Parasitic skin infections are caused by parasites that reside on or within the skin. Scabies and lice are two examples of common parasitic skin illnesses.
