Oxalod-IC Cream 15 gm

Oxalod-IC Cream belongs to a class of dermatological medication used to treat bacterial and fungal skin infections. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. Oxalod-IC Cream reduces swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin infections.

Oxalod-IC Cream contains Clobetasol propionate, Itraconazole, Ofloxacin and Ornidazole. Clobetasol propionate inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Itraconazole damages the fungal cell membranes causing the main components of fungal cells to leak out. Thus, kills fungi and clears the fungal infection. Ofloxacin works by interfering with the bacterial enzyme involved in repairing and replicating the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria. Thereby, kills bacteria and clears the infection. Ornidazole works by damaging the DNA (genetic material) of bacteria and protozoa and inhibits the formation of new DNA. Thereby, kills micro-organisms and clears the infection.
