Quadriderm RF Cream 10gm

Quadriderm RF Cream  is 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 cause infection. Fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.

Quadriderm RF Cream  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 RF Cream  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 RF 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 RF Cream on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Quadriderm RF 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 RF Cream 5 gm if you have dehydration problems, cataracts or glaucoma, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), muscle weakness, or liver and kidney diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Quadriderm RF Cream 5 gm.

Treatment of Fungal and bacterial skin infections.

Quadriderm RF Cream comprises Clotrimazole, Neomycin, and Betamethasone. 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 and treats bacterial and fungal infections of the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions and has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Betamethasone is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin’s production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy. With its anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive properties, Betamethasone treats eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.

Apply a thin layer of the medicine with clean and dry hands on the skin’s affected areas. You can also apply it with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab on the skin. Gently rub the medicine into the skin until it has disappeared.

Bacterial skin infection: It occurs when bacteria enter the body through the skin. Bacterial skin infections are generally mild and can be treated using topical antibiotics. 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.
