Overview

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.)
