Antiderm XL Ointment 10gm

Antiderm Xl Ointment belongs to a group of medications called ‘anti-infectives’ used to treat and control bacterial and fungal skin infections. Antiderm Xl Ointment can effectively reduce symptoms associated with skin infections, such as swelling, itching and redness. Bacterial skin infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow on the skin and cause infection. They often appear as small, red bumps on the skin, gradually increasing in size. Fungal skin infection is a disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue (mostly sweaty areas that don't get enough airflow) and causes an infection.

Antiderm Xl Ointment contains Fluocinolone acetonide, Miconazole and Neomycin. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid medicine. It blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that causes symptoms of skin infections such as redness, swelling and itching. Miconazole is an antifungal agent that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Antiderm Xl Ointment is available for topical use (for skin) in the form of cream and ointment. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. A Antiderm Xl Ointment may cause side effects such as dry skin, burning sensation, irritation, itching, redness, increased hair growth and skin colour change in the treated area.
