CASTOR NF OINTMENT
₹99.00
Castor NF Ointment is a prescription-only combination medication used to treat various mixed bacterial and fungal skin infections. It works by killing the infection-causing microorganisms and reducing associated symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching.
Key Ingredients
Castor NF Ointment (or cream, the common formulation) contains a combination of four active ingredients:
- Clobetasol Propionate: A potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, itching, redness, and swelling.
- Ofloxacin or Ciprofloxacin: Antibiotics that kill bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves.
- Ornidazole or Metronidazole: Antibiotics that kill bacteria and other infectious microorganisms (like protozoa) by damaging their DNA.
- Terbinafine Hydrochloride: An antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering.
Uses and Benefits
The primary use of Castor NF Ointment is the treatment of various skin infections, including:
- Eczema and dermatitis that have become infected by both bacteria and fungi.
- Fungal infections such as ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot.
- Psoriasis (in some cases, but only as directed by a doctor).
- Reducing symptoms of inflammation like severe itching, redness, and swelling.
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are temporary and mild. Common side effects include:
- Burning, irritation, itching, or redness at the application site.
- Dryness and skin peeling.
- Thinning of the skin (especially with prolonged or excessive use due to the steroid content).
If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or signs of an allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), you should consult your doctor immediately.
Important Precautions
- Prescription Only: Castor NF Ointment is a prescription drug and should be used strictly as advised by a healthcare professional.
- External Use Only: It is only for external application; avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or vagina. Rinse with water if accidental contact occurs.
- Do Not Cover: Do not cover the treated area with bandages or airtight dressings unless specifically instructed by your doctor, as this can increase systemic absorption of the ingredients and the risk of side effects.
- Face Application: The ointment is generally not recommended for use on the face due to the potent steroid (clobetasol) which can cause skin thinning. Use on the face only if explicitly directed by a doctor.
- Complete the Course: Do not stop using the medication even if symptoms improve before the full course of treatment is completed to prevent the infection from returning or developing antibiotic resistance.
