Description
Roclete-H Cream – Topical Cream in Pakistan | Caliph Pharma
Roclete-H Cream is a combination topical medication by Caliph Pharma that delivers Miconazole Nitrate, a broad-spectrum antifungal, together with Hydrocortisone Acetate, a mild corticosteroid. It is designed to treat inflammatory fungal skin infections (e.g., tinea with itching, erythema) in Pakistan, offering both antifungal and anti-inflammatory benefits in a single application.
Uses / Indications
This combination cream is typically indicated for:
Dermatophyte infections (tinea corporis, tinea cruris) with associated inflammation and pruritus.
Seborrheic dermatitis or fungal-associated dermatitis where mild steroid support is needed.
Superficial candidal skin infections with inflammation (subject to local license).
How It Works
Miconazole Nitrate acts by inhibiting the fungal enzyme lanosterol 14α-demethylase, which disrupts ergosterol synthesis, impairing fungal cell membrane integrity and leading to fungal death.
Hydrocortisone Acetate is a mild corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, itching and swelling by multiple mechanisms including suppression of inflammatory mediator release and reduction of immune response.
Together, the combination treats both the fungal pathogen and the inflammatory symptoms for a more comprehensive topical therapy.

FAQ
What is Roclete-H Cream used for?
It is used to treat fungal skin infections that also have inflammation, itching or redness, by combining an antifungal and mild steroid in one application.
How soon will I feel better?
Many patients notice reduced itching and redness within 2-3 days, but you should continue full treatment duration to ensure infection clearance.
Can I use it on my face or underarms?
Use on face or sensitive areas only if directed by a dermatologist—corticosteroid component requires caution on thin skin.
What if it doesn’t improve in a week?
If no significant improvement in 7 days, consult a physician or dermatologist for reassessment as the infection may be resistant or mis-diagnosed.
Is the steroid part safe?
Hydrocortisone in combination is mild, but long-term or widespread use can still cause skin thinning or other side-effects—use only as prescribed.
