Locarten Vioform 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Clioquinol was withdrawn in 1983 due to neurotoxicity.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.

How Locarten Vioform works

Clioquinol is bacteriostatic, however, the precise mechanism of its action is unknown.

Elimination Route

Topical absorption is rapid and extensive, especially when the skin is covered with an occlusive dressing or if the medication is applied to extensive or eroded areas of the skin. Clioquinol is absorbed through the skin in sufficient amounts to affect thyroid function tests.
