Reoflox TC Ointment

Reoflox TC Ointment is a skin medicine used to treat conditions where inflammation, bacterial infection, and fungal infection occur together. It combines clobetasol, a strong steroid that helps reduce redness, swelling, and itching, ofloxacin and ornidazole, which help control bacterial infection, and terbinafine, an antifungal medicine that helps clear fungal infection. It is commonly used for infected eczema, dermatitis, ringworm, athlete’s foot, and other irritated skin problems that need both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action.

Because clobetasol is a very strong steroid, Reoflox TC Ointment should be used only for the time and area prescribed by a doctor to reduce the risk of skin thinning and other side effects. It should not be used for viral skin infections, untreated infections, or acne unless your doctor specifically advises it. Use exactly as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.

Reoflox TC Ointment is typically prescribed by a doctor for:

Dermatitis

To help reduce skin inflammation, redness, and itching when infection is also present.

Eczema

To calm irritated skin and help control mixed infection during flare-ups.

Fungal and bacterial skin infections

To treat skin problems where both fungi and bacteria are involved.

Itchy, red, swollen skin

To give short-term relief while the infection and inflammation settle down.

Reoflox TC Ointment may help improve skin comfort by treating inflammation, bacterial growth, and fungal infection at the same time. Clobetasol helps lower redness, swelling, and itching, ofloxacin and ornidazole help clear the bacterial cause, and terbinafine helps treat the fungal cause. This four-way action can reduce discomfort and support smoother skin healing when used correctly under medical supervision.

Reoflox TC Ointment may cause side effects, although not everyone will get them. Most side effects are mild and may improve when the medicine is used for a short time as prescribed. More serious effects can happen if it is used too often, for too long, or on broken skin.

Common Side Effects

• Burning or stinging at the application site.

• Skin irritation, dryness, or redness.

• Itching or mild rash.

• Skin peeling or thinning may occur if used for too long.

Uncommon Side Effects

• Increased hair growth where applied.

• Skin colour changes.

• Acne-like bumps.

• Delayed skin healing.

Serious Side Effects

• Worsening skin infection or spread of infection.

• Severe allergic reaction, such as swelling, breathing trouble, or a widespread rash.

• Signs of steroid overuse include very thin skin or stretch marks.

• Hearing, nerve, or other systemic problems are unlikely with skin use, but should be reported if they occur.

• Take Reoflox TC Ointment exactly as suggested by your doctor, based on your skin condition, age, and other medicines or skin products you may be using.

• It is for external use only and is usually applied as a thin layer on clean, dry affected skin, then gently rubbed in.

• Wash your hands before and after use, unless you are treating your hands.

• Do not use it more often or for longer than advised.

• Avoid the eyes, mouth, nose, face, broken skin, or large areas unless your doctor specifically says to use it there.

• Do not cover the treated area with a tight bandage or dressing unless your doctor tells you to, because this can increase absorption and side effects.

• Reoflox TC Ointment combines four active ingredients that work together to treat infected, inflamed skin.

• Clobetasol is a strong steroid that reduces redness, swelling, and itching by calming the skin’s inflammatory response.

• Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that stops bacteria from growing by interfering with bacterial DNA processes.

• Ornidazole helps control susceptible anaerobic bacteria and certain parasites by damaging their genetic material.

• Terbinafine is an antifungal medicine that blocks fungal cell membrane formation, helping clear fungal infections.

• Together, these medicines help treat skin problems where inflammation, fungus, and bacteria are all involved. This combined action can reduce discomfort, control infection, and help the skin heal more comfortably when used correctly.

• Use Reoflox TC Ointment exactly as your doctor tells you and only on the affected skin.

• Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin, wash your hands before and after use, and avoid the eyes, mouth, nose, face, broken skin, or tight bandages unless your doctor specifically says otherwise.

• Because clobetasol is a very strong steroid, use it for the shortest time needed.

• If the skin becomes redder, more painful, itchy, or irritated, or if the infection seems to be spreading, contact your doctor promptly.

• Do not use it for fungal, viral, or untreated skin infections unless your doctor advises it, because the steroid part can hide or worsen some infections.

• Store Reoflox TC Ointment at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Keep it tightly closed and out of reach of children.

• Do not use it after the expiry date.

• Food does not directly affect this skin medicine because it is used externally.

• There are no special meal restrictions, but keeping the skin clean and dry before application helps the medicine work properly.

• Tell your doctor about all creams, ointments, and medicines you are using before starting Reoflox TC Ointment.

• Other topical steroids, antibiotic creams, or antifungal treatments can increase irritation or side effects if used together without medical advice.

• If you are using strong medicines for the skin, your doctor may want to monitor you more closely.

• Reoflox TC Ointment should be used carefully in people with diabetes, because strong steroids can sometimes affect skin healing and may be absorbed more if used over large areas.

• Extra caution is also needed in fungal skin infections, viral skin infections, open wounds, or long-term skin disease, since the medicine may not be suitable in those cases.

• Using too much Reoflox TC Ointment or applying it too often can increase the chance of skin thinning, burning, irritation, or worsening infection.

• If too much is applied, wash the area gently with water and stop using it until you speak with a doctor.

• Seek medical help if you notice severe redness, swelling, or a spreading rash.

• If you miss a dose, apply it when you remember.

• If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and return to your regular schedule.

• Do not apply extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
