About Polyderm Cream
Polyderm Cream is a dermatological medication primarily used to treat various fungal and bacterial skin infections. It treats skin inflammation caused by eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), ringworm, athlete's foot and jock itch. Skin infection occurs when bacteria or fungus invade and affect the tissues on the skin.
Polyderm Cream is composed of three medicines: Betamethasone (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal) and Gentamicin (antibiotic). Betamethasone belongs to the class of corticosteroids. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal medication that treats fungal infections. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. On the other hand, Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used in treating bacterial infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Use Polyderm Cream as suggested by the doctor. Common side effects of Polyderm Cream include burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist longer, please seek medical help.
Polyderm Cream is for topical (for skin) use only. Let your doctor know if you are sensitive to Polyderm Cream or any other medications. Do not use topical Polyderm Cream on open wounds, blisters, and lesions. Do not put dressing or bandage on the affected area since it increases the risk of side effects. Please check with your doctor before using Polyderm Cream, if you have any active skin inefctions. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before using Polyderm Cream.
