Overview Elketo K5 Cream

DermaKleen 5 Cream is a topical combination medication effective against diverse skin infections. It combats infection-causing pathogens, alleviating inflammatory symptoms like redness, swelling, and itching. Apply DermaKleen 5 Cream externally only, as directed by your physician.

Complete the prescribed course for optimal results. Report any worsening or lack of improvement to your doctor.

How Elketo K5 Cream works:

Elketo K5 Cream unites five active ingredients: the steroid clobetasol, the antibiotic gentamicin, and the antifungals clotrimazole, tolnaftate, and clioquinol (iodochlorhydroxyquin). Clobetasol reduces inflammation by suppressing prostaglandin synthesis, thus alleviating redness, swelling, and itching. Gentamicin combats bacterial skin infections. Clotrimazole and tolnaftate target fungal growth. Clioquinol exhibits both antibacterial and antifungal properties, inhibiting the proliferation of both microorganisms. This synergistic blend provides comprehensive treatment for your skin infection.
