Frequently asked Questions about Clostaf

Question over 4 years ago

Can Clostaf be used for ringworm?

Dr. B. K. Agrawal MBBS, MD , Cardiology, General Physician, Internal Medicine

No, Clostaf alone should not be used for ringworm because it is a fungal infection of the skin caused by fungi such as Trichophyton rubrum and Epidermophyton floccosum and Clostaf is not an antifungal agent and it is not effective against fungi. Hence Clostaf should not be used for the treatment of ringworm. For the treatment of ringworm, you can use a combination of Clostaf and antifungal drugs such as miconazole and fluconazole.

How does Clostaf work?

Dr. Haleema Yezdani MBBS , General Physician

Clostaf contains clobetasol which is presumed to work by promoting the induction of inhibitory proteins (lipocortins) in the body. Lipocortins prevents the release of arachidonic acid which causes synthesis and release of certain chemicals such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins that causes inflammation. In this way Clostaf prevents the skin inflammation which provides relief to the patient from rash, itching, and redness.
