About Actoskin Cream
Actoskin Cream is used to treat skin infections caused by bacteria and fungi. It helps reduce swelling, itching, redness, and discomfort associated with these skin conditions. A bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria enter the body through broken skin. A fungal skin infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection.
Actoskin Cream contains Ofloxacin, Tinidazole, Terbinafine, Clobetasol, and Dexpanthenol. Ofloxacin stops the bacteria from growing and dividing. Tinidazole kills infectious bacteria and parasites. Terbinafine kills or prevents the growth of fungi by stopping them from developing their protective membrane. Clobetasol inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. Dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer that helps keep the skin hydrated, minimize water loss, and preserve its softness and elasticity. Together, Actoskin Cream helps treat skin infections.
Actoskin Cream is only for external use. You are advised to use Actoskin Cream for as long as your doctor has prescribed it, depending on your medical condition. Actoskin Cream is generally well-tolerated, but it may sometimes cause side effects such as skin redness, irritation, swelling, and a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects will gradually resolve over time without requiring medical attention. However, if these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Before using Actoskin Cream, please inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or have other known allergies. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, please consult your doctor before using Actoskin Cream. Inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions such as arthritis, bone, tendon, or joint problems, a muscle or nerve disorder, certain skin infections, adrenal gland issues, diabetes, a weakened immune system, eye problems (such as glaucoma or cataracts), or heart, liver, or kidney problems before using Actoskin Cream.
