Halox F Cream is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes disease. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked, and rough. Some eczema types can also lead to blisters (a small bubble on the skin filled with serum and caused by friction, burning, or other damage). Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin.

Halox F Cream contains Halobetasol (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Halobetasol belongs to the class of high-potency topical corticosteroids.Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative (inhibit cell growth) properties.Halobetasol blocks prostaglandins (chemical messengers) production, making the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. It effectively treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema (inflamed and itchy skin) and psoriasis (skin cells build up and form scales and itchy, dry patches). On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from synthesising essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin), and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).
