How it works
Ketofresh Active Cream is a combination of three medicines: Ketoconazole, Beclometasone, and Neomycin. Ketoconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi while Neomycin is an antibiotic which stops the growth of bacteria on the skin. Together, they treat your skin infection effectively. Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy.
Quick Tips
Ketofresh Active Cream helps treat skin infections. It is for use on skin only. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina.

If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated, you should stop using Ketofresh Active Cream and consult your doctor. Don't use this medicine more often or for longer than advised by your doctor.
