Introduction

Nadoxin-C is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredients Clobetasone and Nadifloxacin. It is available under the brand name Nadoxin-C. This cream is primarily used for the treatment of various skin conditions.

Uses

Nadoxin-C is prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and psoriasis. It helps reduce redness, itching, and swelling associated with these conditions. Additionally, it can be used to treat bacterial skin infections.

Dosage and Administration

follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Nadoxin-C should be applied thinly to the affected area of the skin, usually once or twice a day.

Mechanism of Action

Clobetasone, one of the active ingredients in Nadoxin-C, belongs to a class of medications called corticosteroids. It works by reducing inflammation in the skin, which helps alleviate the symptoms associated with skin conditions.

Nadifloxacin, the other active ingredient, is an antibiotic that belongs to the fluoroquinolone class. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the skin, thereby helping to treat bacterial skin infections.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include mild skin irritation, burning, itching, or redness at the site of application. These side effects are usually temporary and should improve with continued use.

Serious side effects with Nadoxin-C are rare, but if you experience any severe skin reactions, such as severe burning, blistering, or rash, stop using the cream and seek medical attention immediately.
