About Clobetasol Propionate+gentamicin+tolnaftate+iodochlorhydroxyquinoline+clotrimazole
Clobetasol Propionate+clotrimazole+gentamicin+iodochlorhydroxyquinoline+tolnaftate is used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria enter the body through broken skin. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection.
Clobetasol Propionate+clotrimazole+gentamicin+iodochlorhydroxyquinoline+tolnaftate contains Clobetasol Propionate, Gentamicin, Tolnaftate, Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline, and Clotrimazole. Clobetasol Propionate works by inhibiting the release of chemical messengers that cause inflammation and redness. Gentamicin works by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required for the survival of the bacteria. Tolnaftate works by stopping the growth of fungi that cause skin infections. Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline belongs to the class of antifungals with additional antibacterial action. Clotrimazole eliminates the infection by causing holes in the fungal cell membrane, allowing the components to leak, thus killing the fungus. Together, Clobetasol Propionate+clotrimazole+gentamicin+iodochlorhydroxyquinoline+tolnaftate helps in treating skin infections.
In some cases, Clobetasol Propionate+clotrimazole+gentamicin+iodochlorhydroxyquinoline+tolnaftate may cause side effects such as skin peeling, dryness, burning sensation, irritation, stinging sensation, itching and redness at the site of application. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not use Clobetasol Propionate+clotrimazole+gentamicin+iodochlorhydroxyquinoline+tolnaftate if you are hypersensitive or allergic to any of its components.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Bacterial skin infections: Bacterial skin infections occur when bacteria enter the body through broken skin. Bacterial infections include cellulitis, impetigo, leprosy and boils. Cellulitis is an infection of the subcutaneous skin tissue and dermis. Impetigo appears as red sores on the face. Leprosy causes skin lesions. Boils are skin infections that start in an oil gland or hair follicle. Bacterial skin infections are generally mild and can be treated using topical antibiotics. Few infections need treatment using an oral antibiotic. Symptoms include rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, itching, redness, swelling, stinging or burning sensation.
Fungal infections: It is a skin disease in which fungus and yeast attack the tissue and cause infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).
