Uses of Kinoline-Plus Cream

Treatment of Skin infections

Benefits of Kinoline-Plus Cream

Treatment of Skin infections
Kinoline-Plus Cream is used to treat skin infections caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. It works by killing and stopping the growth of infection causing microorganisms, thereby clearing the infection and relieving the symptoms. It also blocks the release of chemicals that cause symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling. Therefore this medicine relieves the inflammation due to these infections.

You should use this medicine for as long as it is prescribed, even if your symptoms disappear, otherwise they may come back. Depending on the type of infection you are treating, this may be several weeks. Even after your infection is completely cured, you may have to apply it occasionally to prevent the symptoms from returning.

Side effects of Kinoline-Plus Cream

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Kinoline-Plus Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Kinoline-Plus Cream works

Kinoline-Plus Cream is a combination of five medicines : Ketoconazole, Clioquinol (Iodochlorhydroxyquin), Tolnaftate, Neomycin, and Clobetasol. Ketoconazole and tolnaftate is an antifungal medication. It kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection. Clioquinol belongs to a category of drugs called hydroxyquinoline antifungal agents. It acts by interacting with DNA synthesis thus killing the fungi that are responsible for causing the infection. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Clobetasol is a steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.

Quick tips

You have been prescribed Kinoline-Plus Cream to get relief from itching, swelling, and other discomforts due to skin infections.
Apply it as a thin layer onto a clean, dry, unbroken infected area of skin.
It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
Do not share your towel or clothes with anyone and wear clean clothes every day to prevent infection.
It may take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor.
