Alderm+ Cream is used topically for the treatment of various skin infections. It helps to relieve redness, swelling, and itching associated with topical fungal infections, bacterial skin infections, skin conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis. Alderm+ Cream may rarely cause burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These symptoms last only for a very few days and disappear with time. Do not use this cream if you are previously allergic to it. Apply a thin film of the Alderm+ Cream to the affected area 1-2 times a day. Wash and dry the affected area before application. Avoid contact with the eyes and mouth. Keep the affected area clean and dry because the presence of water can increase the growth of fungi and bacteria.

How it works

Clobetasol is a topical steroid that prevents the production of prostaglandins- the substance that causes redness, itching and swelling. Itraconazole kills the fungus by stopping their cell wall formation. It works by preventing the fungi from making a substance called ergosterol, which is necessary for cell wall production. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that stops the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase which helps to kill or prevent the growth of bacteria. Ornidazole kills bacteria and other infectious germs by damaging their DNA.
