CASTOR NF OINTMENT
₹103.13
Castor NF Ointment (more commonly available as Castor NF Cream) is a prescription topical medication used to treat various mixed skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi. It reduces symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching.
Key Ingredients and How They Work
The medication is a combination of four active ingredients:
- Clobetasol Propionate (0.05% w/w): A potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) in the body.
- Ofloxacin (0.75% w/w) or Ciprofloxacin (1% w/w): An antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing their DNA.
- Ornidazole (2% w/w) or Metronidazole (1% w/w): Another antibiotic that kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging their DNA.
- Terbinafine Hydrochloride (1% w/w): An antifungal agent that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective cell wall covering.
Uses
Castor NF Ointment/Cream is prescribed for a range of skin conditions:
- Treatment of skin infections caused by a combination of bacteria and fungi.
- Relief from symptoms associated with eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, and allergies where infection is present.
- Management of specific fungal infections like ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot, when complicated by bacterial co-infection.
Directions and Precautions
- Application: For external use only. Apply a thin layer to the clean, dry affected area and gently massage until absorbed.
- Hygiene: Wash hands before and after application, unless the hands are the area being treated.
- Do Not Stop Early: Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if symptoms improve, to ensure complete eradication of the infection.
- Avoid Sensitive Areas: Generally not recommended for use on the face, eyes, mouth, or private parts due to the potent steroid content, unless specifically directed by a doctor.
- Bandages: Do not cover the treated area with bandages or airtight dressings unless instructed by a doctor, as this may increase the absorption of the steroid and the risk of side effects.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include application site reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, redness, skin peeling, and skin thinning.
- Consult a Doctor: Seek medical advice if an allergic reaction occurs or if the condition does not improve after 2 weeks of treatment.
