Epiderm Cream 15g – Combination of Betamethasone Dipropionate, Gentamicin, Tolnaftate, and Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline for Infected Skin Conditions
Epiderm Cream (15g) is a combination treatment featuring Betamethasone Dipropionate, Gentamicin, Tolnaftate, and Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline (Clioquinol), making it a comprehensive solution for inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial or fungal infections. Betamethasone dipropionate is a potent corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, redness, and itching, while gentamicin provides effective antibacterial protection against a wide range of skin infections. Tolnaftate is an antifungal agent that targets dermatophyte infections, and iodochlorhydroxyquinoline offers broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, helping to combat both fungal and bacterial pathogens. This combination ensures a fast and effective solution for conditions like eczema, dermatitis, fungal infections, and infected skin wounds, providing both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits for quicker healing.
