DERMIFORD-K5 CREAM
₹105.41
Dermiford-K5 Cream is a prescription combination medication used to treat various mixed skin infections caused by both bacteria and fungi, while also reducing associated inflammation, itching, and redness.
Active Ingredients
Dermiford-K5 Cream contains a potent combination of five active ingredients:
- Clobetasol Propionate (0.05% w/w): A strong corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching by blocking inflammatory chemical messengers.
- Ketoconazole (2% w/w): An antifungal agent that kills fungi and prevents their growth by destroying their cell membrane.
- Tolnaftate (1% w/w): Another antifungal agent that disrupts the growth of the fungal cell membrane.
- Gentamicin (0.1% w/w): An antibiotic that inhibits the growth of bacteria by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins.
- Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline (Clioquinol) (1% w/w): An antibiotic and antifungal agent that kills bacteria and fungi by interfering with their DNA synthesis.
Uses and Benefits
This broad-spectrum cream provides comprehensive relief for a range of dermatological conditions:
- Fungal Infections: Effective in treating conditions like athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm (tinea corporis), and jock itch (tinea cruris).
- Bacterial Infections: Targets bacterial growth on the skin.
- Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Alleviates symptoms of infected eczema and dermatitis that involve redness, swelling, and itching.
- Psoriasis and Seborrheic Dermatitis: Manages certain forms of scalp psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis characterized by scaly, itchy patches of skin.
How to Use and Precautions
- External use only: The cream is intended strictly for application on the skin’s surface. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds.
- Application: Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer of the cream, usually once or twice daily, or as directed by a doctor.
- Do not cover: Do not cover the treated area with bandages or airtight dressings unless a doctor advises, as this can increase medication absorption and side effect risks.
- Duration: Complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is fully cleared and prevent recurrence. Prolonged use of the steroid component can lead to skin thinning.
- Face/Sensitive Areas: Avoid applying to the face, groin, or armpits unless specifically instructed by a doctor, due to the sensitive nature of these areas and the potency of the ingredients.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are localized to the application site and are temporary:
- Burning, stinging, or irritation sensation
- Itching or redness
- Dryness or peeling of the skin
- Skin thinning (with prolonged use)
If these side effects persist or worsen, or if a severe allergic reaction occurs, seek immediate medical attention.
