About ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM

ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM is a dermatological medication, primarily used to treat eczema and psoriasis. Eczema is a skin condition associated with inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches. Psoriasis is a skin disease in which skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales.

ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM is composed of three medicines: Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Salicylic acid (peeling agent), and Zinc oxide (antiseptic and astringent). Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates, and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolves the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together. Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic and astringent (cleanses skin and tightens pores). It works by forming a barrier on the skin to protect it from moisture and irritants. 

Your doctor will advise the appropriate use of ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM that suits your infection. Common side effects of ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM include itching, dryness, and burning sensation at the application site. These side effects are temporary and gradually resolve over time. If the side effects are persistent, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are sensitive to ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM or any other medications. Do not use ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Please do not cover the affected areas with dressing or bandage since it increases the side effects. ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM is not recommended for use in diaper rash. Let your doctor know if you have liver/kidney diseases or other skin diseases before starting ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM. 

Uses of ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM

Eczema and psoriasis.

Medicinal Benefits

ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM treats skin infections, such as eczema, psoriasis. It consists of Clobetasol, Salicylic acid, and Zinc oxide. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that blocks the production of prostaglandins (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. It treats inflammation and itchiness caused by eczema and psoriasis. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic medicine (softens, separates, and causes desquamation (peeling) of the cornified epithelium or horny layer of skin). It increases the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolves the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together. Salicylic acid breaks down the clumps of keratin, removes dead skin cells, and softens the skin. It is also an anti-inflammatory agent and topical antibacterial. Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic and astringent (cleanses skin and tightens pores). It is a mineral that treats minor burns, severely chapped skin, and other minor skin irritations. When applied to the skin, it forms a barrier to protect it from moisture and irritants. Thus, it acts as a protective coating for mild skin irritations and abrasions. ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM removes the scaling and reduces the redness and itchiness due to skin infections.

Directions for Use

Apply a thin layer with clean and dry hands on the skin's affected areas. You can also apply it with a piece of clean cotton wool or a gauze swab. Gently rub the medicine into the skin. Wash your hands before and after applying ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM on the affected areas unless the treatment is for hands. ZINCODERM S CREAM 15GM is for topical (for skin use) only. If it gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water.
