Derma KT Neo Cream

DESCRIPTION

Derma KT Neo Cream is a broad-spectrum topical medication used primarily to treat various complex skin infections. It is a “5-in-1” combination cream designed to address infections involving fungi, bacteria, and associated inflammation.

Key Composition

The cream contains five active ingredients, each serving a specific therapeutic purpose:

• Clobetasol Propionate (0.05% w/w): A potent steroid that reduces swelling, redness, and itching.

• Ketoconazole (2.0% w/w): A powerful antifungal that treats infections like ringworm and athlete’s foot.

• Tolnaftate (1.0% w/w): An additional antifungal agent that prevents fungal growth.

• Neomycin (0.1% w/w): An antibiotic that kills bacteria causing skin infections.

• Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline (1.0% w/w): Also known as Clioquinol, it has both antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Common Uses

It is typically prescribed for:

• Mixed Skin Infections: Where both bacteria and fungi are present.

• Inflammatory Conditions: Such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis that have become infected.

• Fungal Infections: Ringworm, jock itch, and athlete’s foot.

Directions for Use

• Application: Apply a thin layer to the affected area with clean hands.

• Frequency: Usually applied 1–2 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or sensitive areas.

Important Safety Information

• Side Effects: Common reactions include a mild burning sensation, irritation, itching, or redness at the site of application.

• Contraindications: Should not be used for viral infections (like chickenpox or herpes), acne, or rosacea, as the steroid component may worsen these conditions.

• Duration: Do not use for longer than prescribed, as prolonged use of potent steroids can lead to skin thinning.
