Product introduction

Keto B Cream is a prescription medicine containing Ketoconazole (2%w/w) + Beclomethasone (0.025%w/w). It is used for fungal skin infections. It belongs to the group of medicines called Antifungal and Inhaled bronchodilator / corticosteroid.

Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and rub it in gently. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.

The side effects seen most often with Keto B Cream are burning or stinging, redness, itching and dryness. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.

Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Keto B Cream works.

Uses

Kenozole-B Cream is used in the treatment of fungal skin infections.

Benefits

In Fungal skin infection: Keto B kills the fungus on the skin or stops it growing, clearing the rash and the itch. Continuing for the full period, even after the skin looks clear, stops it coming back.
In Ringworm: Keto B clears the ring-shaped, itchy rash of ringworm and stops it spreading to other parts of the body or to other people.
In Athlete's foot: Keto B clears the itchy, peeling, cracked skin between the toes and on the soles, and helps stop the infection returning.
In Dandruff: Keto B controls the yeast that drives flaking and itching of the scalp, so dandruff clears and the scalp settles.
In Nail fungal infection: Keto B, applied to the nail, slowly clears a mild fungal nail infection as the healthy nail grows out.
In Asthma: Keto B opens the airways or calms the inflammation inside them, depending on its type, so breathing is easier and attacks are fewer. Delivered straight into the lungs, it works where it is needed with very little reaching the rest of the body.
In Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Keto B relaxes the airways so that air moves in and out more easily, reducing breathlessness and letting you walk further and do more before you have to stop.

Side effects

Most side effects of Keto B are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

Burning or stinging
Redness
Itching
Dryness
Peeling
Throat irritation
Hoarse voice
Oral thrush
Tremor
Fast heartbeat
Headache

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

How to use

Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and rub it in gently. Wash your hands before and after use, unless your hands are the area being treated. This is for use on the skin only — do not swallow it. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

How it works

Keto B Cream is a combination of two medicines: Beclometasone and Ketoconazole, which treats fungal skin infections. Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Ketoconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering.

Warnings & precautions

Keep applying for the full period your doctor stated, usually two to four weeks, and for a week or two after the rash has cleared. Stopping when it looks better is why ringworm keeps coming back. Apply a little beyond the visible edge of the patch — the fungus extends further than the redness. Do not use a combination cream containing a steroid on a fungal infection unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it. The steroid calms the redness while the fungus spreads underneath. See a doctor if the rash covers a large area, involves the scalp or nails, or has not improved in two weeks — these usually need tablets as well. Know which of your inhalers is the reliever and which is the preventer. A preventer must be used every day even when you feel well; a reliever is for symptoms. Seek emergency care if your reliever is not working, if you cannot speak a full sentence, or if you are using the reliever far more often than usual. Rinse your mouth with water and spit it out after every steroid inhaler dose to prevent thrush and hoarseness. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to watch your technique — poor technique is the commonest reason an inhaler seems not to work. Use a spacer if one has been advised, particularly for children.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from skin use; swallowing the preparation may cause stomach upset. It can cause a racing heart, marked tremor, headache and a fall in blood potassium. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Quick tips

Keep the area clean and completely dry.
Fungus thrives in moisture and sweat.
Wear loose cotton clothing, change it daily, and wash clothes and towels in hot water.
Do not share towels, and treat affected family members at the same time.
Keep a spare reliever and check the counter so you are not caught with an empty one.
Follow your written asthma action plan if you have one.
Do not stop a preventer because you feel better.
That is the medicine working.
