Dek-quin Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Clioquinol was withdrawn in 1983 due to neurotoxicity.
Clioquinol is a broad-spectrum antibacterial with antifungal properties. Application of clioquinol to extensive or eroded areas of the skin may lead to increased protein-bound iodine (PBI) levels within 1 week. In addition, elevated PBI levels may occur when relatively small areas of the skin are treated with clioquinol for more than 1 week.
