The Citoz Fc 0.025/0.5/1 % Cream 15 Gm contains the following ingredients:

• Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (0.5% w/w): This component is an antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth and multiplication of bacteria by interfering with their DNA replication. By targeting the bacterial source of infection, it helps eliminate the causative bacteria.
• Fluocinolone acetonide (0.025% w/w): It is a synthetic corticosteroid that has anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic properties that reduce redness, swelling, and itching associated with skin infections. It works by suppressing the immune response and inflammation.
• Clotrimazole (1% w/w): It is an antifungal agent that combats fungal infections by disrupting the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of the cell membrane. This disruption weakens the fungal cells, leading to their elimination.
