Introduction
Kenozole-BG is a prescription medication that combines three active ingredients: Ketoconazole, Beclometasone, and Gentamicin. It is commonly used in the treatment of various skin conditions.
Uses
Kenozole-BG is prescribed for the treatment of fungal infections of the skin, such as athlete’s foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It is also effective in managing inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema and dermatitis. Additionally, it is used to treat bacterial skin infections.
Dosage and Administration
Kenozole-BG should be applied to the affected area of the skin as directed by your healthcare provider. Clean and dry the affected area before applying the cream. Gently massage a thin layer of the cream into the skin until it is evenly distributed. Wash your hands after each application. The frequency and duration of use will depend on the specific condition being treated. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully.
Mechanism of Action
Ketoconazole, one of the active ingredients in Kenozole-BG, is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungus on the skin. Beclometasone is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and itching. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to treat both fungal and bacterial infections of the skin.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include skin irritation, burning, itching, or redness at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing) or signs of skin infection (e.g., increased pain, pus, worsening redness), seek medical attention immediately.
Drug Interactions
inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Certain medications may interact with Kenozole-BG and affect its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects. Be sure to discuss any potential drug interactions with your healthcare provider.

Before using Kenozole-BG, inform your healthcare provider about any allergies or sensitivities you may have. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. Kenozole-BG should not be used on broken or infected skin without the supervision of a healthcare professional. Avoid prolonged use of the cream without medical guidance.

Kenozole-BG should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children and pets. Do not freeze the cream. Check the expiration date before using and discard any expired medication.
