Breastfeeding Warning

Cipowin CF Cream is probably safe to use during breastfeeding. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent any significant risk to the baby. Baby should be closely monitored for development of fever, loss of appetite and diarrhea. In case, any of the above happens please inform your doctor immediately.

Pregnancy Warning

Cipowin CF Cream may be unsafe to use during pregnancy. Although there are limited studies in humans, animal studies have shown harmful effects on the developing baby. Your doctor will weigh the benefits and any potential risks before prescribing it to you. Please consult your doctor.

Cipowin CF Cream is a combination of three medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide, Ciprofloxacin, and Clotrimazole. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid medicine that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Clotrimazole is an antifungal that stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Cipowin CF Cream must be applied as a thin layer on the affected area as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Before each application, wash the affected area with soap and water and dry well. Avoid getting it in the eyes, mouth, or nose. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas. Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor as this may increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor if the treated skin area does not improve after 2-4 weeks of treatment.
