About Quadriderm RF Cream 5 gm

Quadriderm RF Cream 5 gm is used to treat various fungal and bacterial skin infections. It treats skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants, 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 (fungal infection between the toes), jock itch (fungal infection in the skin of the genitals, inner thighs and buttocks), insect bites, and stings. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. Fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.

Quadriderm RF Cream 5 gm is composed of three medicines: Clotrimazole (antifungal), Neomycin (antibiotic) and Betamethasone (steroid). 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 used in treating bacterial and fungal infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. On the other hand, Betamethasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.

Quadriderm RF Cream 5 gm is for topical (for skin) use only. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water. Common side effects of Quadriderm RF Cream 5 gm include burning, irritation, itching and redness at the application site. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.
