Verified Ingredients and Effects

Uses:

Treatment of Fungal and bacterial skin infections.

Medicinal Benefits:

Quadriderm RF Cream 5 gm comprises Clotrimazole, Neomycin, and Betamethasone. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and treats bacterial and fungal infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions and has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. With its anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive properties, Betamethasone treats eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
