Megaderm cream 10Gm

Description

Megaderm Cream 10Gm is a topical medication commonly used to treat various skin infections and inflammatory skin conditions.

Ingredients: Megaderm Cream typically contains a combination of three active ingredients:

• Beclomethasone (0.025%): A corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation, redness, swelling, and itching.
• Clotrimazole (1%): An antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the growth of fungi.
• Neomycin (0.5%): An antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria.

Uses: This combination of medicines makes Megaderm Cream effective against mixed infections (bacterial and fungal) and inflammatory skin conditions. It is used for:

• Skin infections (both fungal and bacterial origin)
• Skin inflammation, itching, irritation, redness, and swelling associated with conditions like eczema and dermatitis.
• Ringworm infection, athlete’s foot, and tinea infections.
• Managing symptoms like scratching, red sores, itching, and rashes.

How it works:

• Beclomethasone reduces inflammation by preventing the body from releasing certain chemicals that cause swelling and itching.
• Clotrimazole inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, leading to fungal cell damage.
• Neomycin stops protein synthesis in bacteria, disrupting their growth and replication.

Directions for Use:

• Apply a small amount of Megaderm Cream to the affected skin areas as directed by your physician.
• It is for topical use only.
• Wash your hands before and after application.
• Your doctor will determine the correct dose and duration of therapy.
