Ketineal Cream

Ketineal Cream is a topical medication formulated to treat various skin infections and conditions. It combines three active ingredients: ketoconazole (10 mg), clobetasol propionate (0.25 mg), and neomycin sulfate (5,000 IU). This combination provides antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects, making it effective for a range of dermatological issues.

Active Ingredients and Their Functions

• Ketoconazole (10 mg): An antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of fungi by interfering with their cell membrane synthesis. It’s effective against conditions like ringworm, athlete’s foot, and seborrheic dermatitis.
• Clobetasol Propionate (0.25 mg): A potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching associated with various skin conditions.
• Neomycin Sulfate (5,000 IU): An antibiotic that helps prevent or treat bacterial infections on the skin.

Indications

Ketineal Cream is commonly used to treat:

• Tinea corporis (ringworm)
• Tinea cruris (jock itch)
• Tinea pedis (athlete’s foot)
• Tinea versicolor (pityriasis versicolor)
• Seborrheic dermatitis
• Cutaneous candidiasis (skin yeast infections)
• Eczema and other inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial or fungal infections.

Usage Instructions

1. Preparation: Cleanse and dry the affected area before application.
2. Application: Apply a thin layer of Ketineal Cream to the affected area once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional.
3. Duration: Continue treatment for the prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete resolution of the infection.

Safety and Precautions

• Short-Term Use: Due to the presence of clobetasol propionate, a potent corticosteroid, prolonged use may lead to side effects such as skin thinning.
• Sensitive Areas: Avoid applying to the face, groin, or underarms unless directed by a healthcare provider.
• Children: Use in children under 12 years of age should be under medical supervision.
• Allergic Reactions: Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if signs of an allergic reaction occur, such as rash, itching, or swelling.
