burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare.
Breastfeeding Warning
Dandrotin B Cream is probably safe to use during breastfeeding. Limited human data suggests that the drug does not represent any significant risk to the baby.
Pregnancy Warning

How it works
Dandrotin B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Ketoconazole. Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Ketoconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.
Quick Tips
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. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor. Do not use this medicine in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.
