Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Panderm Super Cream is used in the treatment of various skin infections. The detailed uses of Panderm Super Cream are as follows:

  • Treats Fungal Skin Infections: Panderm Super Cream contains Clotimazole (an antifungal), which stops the growth of fungi and helps treat infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, and Tinea versicolor.
  • Treats Bacterial Skin Infections: Panderm Super Cream contains Fusidic acid (an antibacterial), which kills the bacteria and helps treat conditions such as impetigo, dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, and infected wounds or cuts.

Medicinal Benefits

Panderm Super Cream treats various skin infections and is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Clotrimazole, and Fusidic acid. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive properties. It blocks the production of chemical mediators of inflammation that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. It works by relieving inflammation and itching caused by plaque psoriasis and other skin conditions. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that stops fungi's growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Fusidic acid is an antibacterial/antibiotic that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It is used to treat infections like dermatitis, spots, cuts, grazes, impetigo (weeping, crusty and swollen patch of skin) and folliculitis (inflammation of one or more hair follicles).
