About Scalnex CT Lotion
Scalnex CT Lotion is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat fungal infections, such as athlete's foot (ringworm of the foot), jock itch (ringworm of the groin), ringworm, and seborrheic dermatitis (dry, flaking skin or dandruff). Fungal infection occurs when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin. Fungi can live in the air, soil, water, and plants. Symptoms of a fungal infection include skin rash, irritation, redness and scaling of the skin.
Scalnex CT Lotion is composed of two medicines: Ketoconazole (antifungal) and Beclometasone (steroid). Ketoconazole is used to treat various fungal infections. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Beclometasone effectively treats redness and itchiness eczema (inflamed and itchy skin), psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches), and dermatitis (red and itchy skin).
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Scalnex CT Lotion has common side effects as every drug does. These side effects include itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually go away with time and do not require medical attention. However, if the side effects are persistent, please see a doctor.
Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Scalnex CT Lotion or any other medications. Avoid going near naked flames since Scalnex CT Lotion can cause fire easily while being treated with topical forms. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Scalnex CT Lotion. Inform your doctor before using Scalnex CT Lotion if you have any skin infections or previous medical history.
