Forcutril Plus Cream is a combination of four medicines: Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, Itraconazole and Clobetasol. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Ornidazole is also an antibiotic that kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA. Itraconazole is an antifungal medication. It kills and stops the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy.

Dear sir please elaborate your symptoms, history, treatment and investigations done.

Hello, I work in a very sweaty environment, I recently had a ringworm outbreak, I used EBERNET and it worked perfectly fine for me, On the recommendation of a few friends who suggested to use anti-fungal soap for a few days to ensure that the spores are completely eliminated from my body. Are there any effective anti-fungal soaps or shampoos that I can use to treat ringworm infection? Is there a method to determine if my scalp is affected by ringworm's? If I do happen to have this, What should be my next set of actions to treat ringworm's on scalp, before visiting a hospital/clinic? Regards, PATIENT
