Ketofresh Ct Cream 15gm

Ketofresh CT Cream 15 gm is a combination topical medication used for treating mixed skin infections involving fungal, bacterial, and inflammatory components. It contains Clobetasol Propionate (strong corticosteroid), Ketoconazole (antifungal agent), Tolnaftate (antifungal agent), Neomycin (antibiotic), and Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline (antiseptic and antimicrobial agent). This combination helps in reducing itching, redness, swelling, and infection at the same time.

It is usually prescribed for short-term use in conditions like infected eczema, fungal dermatitis, and mixed skin infections under medical supervision due to the presence of a potent steroid.

The Clobetasol Propionate acts as a strong anti-inflammatory corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling, and itching by suppressing immune response in the skin, but prolonged use can cause skin thinning. The Ketoconazole works as an antifungal agent by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, which is essential for fungal cell membrane formation, leading to fungal death. The Tolnaftate also acts as an antifungal agent by preventing fungal growth and spread on the skin surface. The Neomycin works as a broad-spectrum antibiotic by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, helping control bacterial skin infections. The Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline acts as an antiseptic that prevents growth of bacteria and fungi, reducing infection risk.

Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive treatment for mixed infections while controlling inflammation and irritation.
