Topisal MF 3% Ointment

Drug | Ointment

Inflammatory, itchy skin conditions with suspected fungal involvement and scaling/thickened skin such as infected eczema/dermatitis, psoriasis with secondary fungal infection, tinea with marked inflammation (as prescribed).

Clobetasol is a very potent corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling and itching by suppressing inflammatory mediators. Miconazole is an imidazole antifungal that damages fungal cell membranes by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic that softens and removes thick scales and enhances penetration of other actives.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer 1–2 times daily or as directed by a doctor. Use for the shortest duration needed; avoid covering with tight occlusive dressings unless advised. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, face, groin/underarms unless prescribed; wash hands after application.

Burning, stinging, irritation, dryness, redness, itching, peeling, skin thinning (atrophy), stretch marks, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation

Contains clobetasol (super‑potent steroid): prolonged or excessive use can cause skin atrophy, steroid acne, telangiectasia and systemic absorption (HPA-axis suppression), especially in children or under occlusion/large areas. Do not use on viral lesions (herpes, chickenpox), untreated bacterial infections, or acne/rosacea unless advised. Avoid use on broken skin; stop and consult if worsening, severe irritation, or no improvement. Not recommended for long-term continuous use; use cautiously in children. Do not apply to eyes; risk of glaucoma/cataract with periocular use.

Other topical corticosteroids, other keratolytics/irritants (e.g., benzoyl peroxide, tretinoin) may increase irritation; occlusive dressings increase steroid absorption; strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir, ketoconazole) may increase systemic steroid effects if significant absorption occurs.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from heat and direct light. Keep cap tightly closed; keep out of reach of children.
