Ofclone-FC Cream is a combination medicine used in the treatment of skin infections. It works by killing microorganisms that cause infection. It also blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause redness, swelling, and itching.

Ofclone-FC Cream is for external use only. You should use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. This medicine should be used regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more than you need as it will not clear your condition faster and some side effects may be increased. If your condition goes on for longer than four weeks or gets worse at any time, let your doctor know. The effects of medicine can be increased by keeping the affected area clean and dry, and washing hands before and after treating the infection.

Some of the common side effects include skin irritation, redness or itching at the site of application. If the side effects bother you or do not go away, let your doctor know. Avoid direct contact with eyes, nose, or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

It is not likely that other medicines you take by mouth or injection will affect the way it works but talk to your doctor before using it if you have used a similar medicine before and had an allergic reaction. This medicine should only be used if it is clearly needed during pregnancy.

How Ofclone-FC Cream works

Ofclone-FC Cream is a combination of four medicines: Ofloxacin, Fluocinolone acetonide, Clotrimazole, and Chlorocresol, which treats skin infections. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic. It prevents the bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing the bacteria. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid. It works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on skin by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Chlorocresol has disinfectant, antiseptic and bactericidal properties. It kills bacteria, and prevents microbial growth. It is also used in various pharmaceutical products to increase shelf life.

Dear sir please elaborate your symptoms, history, treatment and investigations done.

Hello, I work in a very sweaty environment, I recently had a ringworm outbreak, I used EBERNET and it worked perfectly fine for me, On the recommendation of a few friends who suggested to use anti-fungal soap for a few days to ensure that the spores are completely eliminated from my body. Are there any effective anti-fungal soaps or shampoos that I can use to treat ringworm infection? Is there a method to determine if my scalp is affected by ringworm's? If I do happen to have this, What should be my next set of actions to treat ringworm's on scalp, before visiting a hospital/clinic? Regards, PATIENT
