How it works
Floxisure OT 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 Floxisure OT Cream and consult your doctor. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.
