About Quadriderm Cream 5 gm

Quadriderm Cream 5 gm is a combination of medicine primarily 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 causes infection. Fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.

Quadriderm 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 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 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.

Do not use topical Quadriderm Cream 5 gm on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Quadriderm Cream 5 gm is not for oral, ophthalmic (eye) or intravaginal use. Do not put a dressing or bandage on the affected area unless prescribed. Please check with your doctor before using Quadriderm Cream 5 gm, if you have dehydration problems, cataracts or glaucoma, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), or muscle weakness, liver and kidney diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Quadriderm Cream 5 gm.

Please reach out to a doctor for more information.

You are required to maintain at least a three-hour gap after application of Quadriderm Cream 5 gm if you are using more than one topical medicine.

Few infections need treatment using an oral antibiotic. Symptoms of a skin infection include rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, itching, redness, swelling, stinging or burning sensation.

Fungal skin infection: It is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). The symptoms of a fungal infection include scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation, and redness.
