About Propyderm NF Cream 5 gm

Propyderm NF Cream 5 gm belongs to the class of ‘Topical steroid with antifungal and antibacterial agents’, primarily used to treat skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, lichen planus (inflammation of the skin and mucous membranes) and tinea versicolor (discoloured patches on the skin). Skin infection occurs when a foreign microbe like fungus or bacteria invades and affects the skin's tissue.

Propyderm NF Cream 5 gm consists of three medicines, namely: Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Clotrimazole (antifungal) and Fusidic acid (antibacterial). Clobetasol is a highly potent ‘corticosteroid’ with anti-inflammatory, antipruritic (relieves itching) and vasoconstrictive (narrows blood vessels) properties. It blocks the production of chemical mediators of inflammation (such as kinins, histamine, liposomal enzymes, and prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an ‘antifungal’ medication. It stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. On the other hand, Fusidic acid is an ‘antibacterial’ medication that prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.

Propyderm NF Cream 5 gm is for external use only. Use this medication on the skin only as advised by the doctor. Common side effects of Propyderm NF Cream 5 gm are burning, irritation, itching, redness and thinning of skin at the application site. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Avoid contact with your eyes, nose or mouth while using Propyderm NF Cream 5 gm. Rinse it off with water thoroughly if you get the medicine in these areas. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to Propyderm NF Cream 5 gm or any of its components. Therapy with topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol should be administered cautiously in patients with bacterial, fungal, viral and protozoa infections. Let your doctor know if you have any medical history of liver, kidney diseases, glaucoma, cataract, poor blood circulation, immune system problems, diabetes and adrenal gland diseases. Please consult your doctor if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding woman before using Propyderm NF Cream 5 gm.

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).
