Cipro Cf Plus Skin Cream 15 Gm

Cipro-CF Plus Skin Cream is used to treat mixed bacterial and fungal skin infections in adults, helping clear the infection and reduce associated redness, swelling and itching.

• Bacterial Skin Infection: Clears bacteria causing skin infection.
• Fungal Skin Infection: Treats fungal infection affecting the skin.
• Mixed Infections: Manages infections involving both bacteria and fungus together.

Here's how to use Cipro-CF Plus Skin Cream:

• Ensure the affected skin area is clean and dry before application.

• Apply a thin layer of the prescribed amount of cream to the infected area.

• Gently rub it in until fully absorbed by your skin.

• Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the cream to avoid spreading the infection.

• If you're unsure about anything, always consult your doctor for precise instructions.

Cipro-CF Plus Skin Cream is applied topically.

Cipro-CF Plus Skin Cream contains multiple active ingredients that work together to provide relief from mixed skin infections:

• Ciprofloxacin (0.5%): This fluoroquinolone antibiotic inhibits essential enzymes in bacteria called topoisomerase II and IV that are required for their DNA replication and repair. By disrupting these vital processes, it exhibits strong bacteria-killing effects.

• Clotrimazole (1%): As an azole antifungal, clotrimazole disrupts the cell membranes of fungi by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol - a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This action makes the fungal cells leaky and inhibits their growth.

• Fluocinolone (0.025%): This medium-potency corticosteroid reduces inflammation, swelling, and itching by binding to specific intracellular glucocorticoid receptors in skin cells once absorbed through the skin. It triggers a cascade of anti-inflammatory effects, which includes suppressing the release of pro-inflammatory mediators and increasing anti-inflammatory protein synthesis.

• Keep Cipro-CF Plus Skin Cream in a cool and dry place, within a temperature range of 15°C to 30°C.

• Store away from direct heat and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Maintain proper skin hygiene to support the management of skin infections. This includes regularly washing your hands, keeping your skin clean, and using clean towels and linens.

• Avoid scratching or touching the infected skin area as it might intensify the infection. It's important to keep your nails trimmed and avoid wearing tight or synthetic clothing that can irritate your skin.
