How it works
Salisia 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
This combination medicine helps treat skin infections caused by many different types of fungi. It can take a few weeks for the infection to clear and a few months before the skin returns to its normal color. It is not taken orally so it does not cause many side effects. 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.
