Topderm Cream Substitute

Topderm Cream contains Fluocinolone acetonide, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers), which makes the skin red, swollen and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal agent that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and kills fungi. Neomycin is an antibiotic used in treating bacterial infections of the skin. It prevents bacteria from synthesising essential proteins required to carry out vital functions. Together, Topderm Cream can effectively treat skin infections.

Topderm Cream may cause side effects such as dry skin, burning sensation, irritation, itching, redness, increase in hair growth and change in skin colour at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Topderm Cream is for topical use (for skin) only. Do not use Topderm Cream on the face and avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth and genitals.

If you accidentally come in contact with any person having them, please inform your doctor immediately, as it requires special treatment if you have not had these illnesses.
