How it works
Antilox TC Cream is a combination of four medicines: Terbinafine, Clobetasol, Ofloxacin, and Ornidazole. Terbinafine is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Ornidazole is also an antibiotic which kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA.
Quick Tips
It is for use on skin only. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Wash your hands with soap before and after applying the cream. Do not share your towel or clothes with anyone. Wear clean clothes every day to prevent infection. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor. If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Antilox TC Cream and consult your doctor. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 2 weeks of treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Can I stop taking Antilox TC Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, you must continue using Antilox TC Cream as prescribed by your doctor even if your symptoms improve. Complete the full course of treatment, as skin infections may not clear up immediately.
What precautions should be taken while using Antilox TC Cream?
Antilox TC Cream should not be used on the face. Avoid prolonged use of the medication and do not cover the treated area with a bandage or dressing, as this can increase absorption and may lead to side effects. This medicine must only be applied by the patient and never given to others.
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Antilox TC Cream for long periods?
The dosage and duration of using Antilox TC Cream should be strictly as prescribed by your doctor. This medication contains clobetasol, which when used at high doses or for prolonged periods can cause changes in skin color (e.g., darkening) at the application site. Veins may become visible due to thinning and weakening of the skin. Hair growth could also increase. The medicine might be absorbed into the bloodstream, leading to potential side effects such as weight gain, high blood pressure, or facial puffiness. If your symptoms worsen, please consult with your doctor for a re-evaluation.
What are the recommended instructions for the storage and disposal of Antilox TC Cream?
Store Antilox TC Cream in its original packaging, tightly sealed. Follow the specific storage instructions on the package or label. Never discard unused medicine and ensure it is not accessible to pets, children, or other individuals.
