Medicine information
Uses & overview
KATARINA TOTAL SOAP by Steris Healthcare brings together two potent, clinically proven dermatological agents to deliver complete topical protection against stubborn skin infections. Combining broad-spectrum antifungal action with an effective antiseptic and surfactant ingredient, KATARINA TOTAL SOAP targets the root causes of skin ringworm, athlete's foot, seborrheic conditions, and bacterial sweat rash—restoring skin comfort and health with daily use. Key Ingredients & Clinical Benefits: Ketoconazole: A highly effective broad-spectrum imidazole antifungal agent that inhibits ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes, eradicating dermatophytes (Tinea species) and yeasts (Candida and Malassezia species). Cetrimide: A quaternary ammonium antiseptic and disinfectant agent that destroys surface bacterial cell walls, cleanses infected debris, and prevents secondary bacterial skin contamination. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: Dual Action Therapy: Provides comprehensive, simultaneous protection against both fungal and bacterial skin infections. Treats Ringworm & Tinea Infections: Highly effective in managing Tinea corporis (body ringworm), Tinea cruris (jock itch), Tinea pedis (athlete's foot), and Tinea versicolor. Relieves Itching & Inflammation: Rapidly calms intense skin irritation, redness, scaling, and burning sensations caused by superficial skin infections. Controls Body Odor & Sweat Rash: Cetrimide kills odor-causing skin bacteria and purifies sweat-prone areas like armpits, groin, and inner thighs. Prevents Recurrence: Ideal for regular use during hot, humid weather or post-workout showers to prevent recurring skin infections.
How to use
Wet your body and skin thoroughly with lukewarm water. Gently rub KATARINA TOTAL SOAP over the affected areas or your entire body to produce a rich, creamy lather. Leave the lather on the skin for 2 to 3 minutes to allow the active therapeutic ingredients to penetrate effectively. Rinse off thoroughly with clean water and pat dry with a clean, dry towel. Use daily during bath or shower, or as directed by your physician or dermatologist.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Maintain at a temperature below 30°C. Keep the soap bar in a dry, well-drained soap dish between uses to preserve its texture and longevity. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
