Ceflox-CF Cream is a combination of two antibiotic (Ciprofloxacin, Neomycin), a steroid (Fluocinolone acetonide) and an antifungal (Clotrimazole). The antibiotics work by killing the bacteria that cause skin infections. The steroid blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. The antifungal stops the growth of fungi on skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Together, they treat your skin infection effectively.

May take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Ceflox-CF Cream. Apply it as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by an infection. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. It is advisable not to touch or scratch the infected area as it can worsen the situation.
