Hi, Thank you for your question and your concern.
As you suffer from Tinea Versicolor you should only use the Flucos tablets 150 mg orally as advised by your physician, while the other medications:
Doxybond is oral Docycycline, this in antibiotic for the acne condition, also the Clindac Gel is Clyndamicine Phosphate used topically for acne.
lobate gel is composed of clobetasol and lactic acid, which is suitable for ecxematous skin and dermatitis, which really don`t know why you got a lot of medications for only one skin condition? Do you also suffer from acne?
Please feel free to contact me again if anything is unclear. Wish you good health!
