How it works
Ketax-B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Ketoconazole, which treats fungal skin infections. 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. 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. Do not use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.

Frequently asked questions
How to use Ketax-B Cream?
Apply a thin layer of Ketax-B Cream to the affected areas of skin. The amount applied should be sufficient to cover the area. It is usually applied twice or three times daily, following your doctor's instructions. Wash your hands after using Ketax-B Cream unless it is used for treating skin infections on the hands.
Can I stop taking Ketax-B Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop taking Ketax-B Cream and complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the infection is completely cured.
What precautions need to be taken while using Ketax-B Cream?
Ketax-B Cream should not be used on the face, and it should not be used for longer than the prescribed period.

This medicine must only be used by the patient and never given to others, even if their condition appears to be the same.
Will Ketax-B Cream be more effective if taken more than prescribed?
