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.
How to Use Epiderm Cream 15g
Apply a thin layer of Epiderm Cream to the affected area once or twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. Gently massage the cream into the skin until fully absorbed. Avoid using the cream on large areas of the skin or for extended periods unless prescribed by your doctor. For best results, use the cream only on the affected areas and follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding duration and dosage.
Precautions
