Drug overview for QUINJA (iodoquinol/aloe polysaccharides no.1):
Generic name: IODOQUINOL/ALOE POLYSACCHARIDES NO.1
Drug class: Topical Antifungals
Therapeutic class: Dermatological
Iodoquinol is a halogenated 8-hydroxyquinoline anti-infective agent.
Although iodoquinol, in a suitable dermatologic vehicle alone or in combination with coal tar, has been used topically in the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections of the skin, the drug principally is used in combination with hydrocortisone for the topical treatment of subacute and chronic dermatoses. There is a lack of substantial evidence that these topical preparations containing iodoquinol are effective for their purported uses. Although iodoquinol previously was used in the treatment of diaper rash (diaper dermatitis), use of the drug in children currently is not recommended.
(See Cautions.) Iodoquinol also has been used as a shampoo (no longer commercially available in the US) for the control of seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp. However, relapse usually occurs when the medication is discontinued. For the use of iodoquinol in intestinal amebiasis and other conditions, see 8:30.04
