About DERMIKEM OC PLUS CREAM 15GM

DERMIKEM OC PLUS CREAM 15GM belongs to a class of dermatological medication used to treat skin infections. It helps reduce swelling, itching and redness occurring due to certain skin infections caused by bacteria and fungus. Fungal infection 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). Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grows in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.

DERMIKEM OC PLUS CREAM 15GM is a combination of four drugs, namely: Chlorhexidine gluconate (antiseptic), Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Miconazole (antifungal) and Neomycin (antibiotic). Chlorhexidine gluconate works by killing the micro-organisms and thus, prevents infection. Clobetasol inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching and swelling. Miconazole works by damaging the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi. Neomycin works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, DERMIKEM OC PLUS CREAM 15GM helps treat skin infections.
