Medicinal Benefits:

Candiderma Plus Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections, skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants, eczema, psoriasis, insect bites and stings. Candiderma Plus Cream contains Clotrimazole (antifungal), Neomycin (antibiotic) and Beclomethasone dipropionate (steroid). Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Beclomethasone dipropionate blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) and makes the affected area red, swollen, and itchy. Together, Candiderma Plus Cream helps treat skin infections.
