About Halorif-F Cream
Halorif-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.
Halorif-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).
Halorif-F Cream is available in the topical (for skin) forms of cream, ointment, and gel. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Halorif-F Cream has common side effects like itching, dryness, redness, and a burning sensation at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if you face any other symptoms or the side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to Halobetasol, Fusidic acid, or other medications. Do not use Halorif-F Cream on thin skin, skin ulcers, broken veins, or acne without a doctor's advice. Do not apply tight dressings and bandages on the skin's affected areas after using Halorif-F Cream unless the doctor advised. Halobetasol in Halorif-F Cream is not recommended for diaper rash, diabetes, Cushing's disease (high cortisol levels), cataracts, and glaucoma. Do not use Halorif-F Cream on sensitive areas like nostrils, ears, lips, or genitals if the doctor did not advise you. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Halorif-F Cream. If you have diabetes, liver disease, adrenal gland disorder, or any skin infection, inform your doctor before taking Halorif-F Cream.

Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Halorif-F Cream is used to treat bacterial skin infections, such as eczema and dermatitis. It consists of two medicines: Halobetasol (corticosteroid) and Fusidic acid (antibiotic). Halobetasol is a high-potency topical corticosteroid that blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers), making the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. It 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 and prevents the synthesis of 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).

Drug Warnings
Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Halorif-F Cream or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or a breastfeeding mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using Halorif-F Cream. Halorif-F Cream is not recommended for children below 12 years of age as large amounts of Halorif-F Cream may be absorbed through the skin easily in children and cause adverse effects. Avoid using Halorif-F Cream on open wounds, windburned, sunburned, irritated, or dry skin. Do not cover or wrap the treated area with a bandage unless your doctor advises, as it may cause harmful effects. Avoid contact of topical Halorif-F Cream with nose, mouth, or eyes as it may irritate. If Halorif-F Cream accidentally comes in contact with these areas, rinse with water thoroughly. Avoid smoking or going near naked flames since Halorif-F Cream can catch fire and burn easily. Tell your doctor before using Halorif-F Cream if you have diabetes, Cushing's disease (high cortisol levels), cataract or glaucoma, thyroid and pituitary diseases, heart, kidney, or liver problems before using Halorif-F Cream. Do not apply Halorif-F Cream in large amounts or use for a long time than prescribed as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects and makes skin more sensitive to Halorif-F Cream.
