Dermitron Cream is a combination medicine used to treat various types of skin infections, minimizing symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching. Dermitron Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or vagina rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.
Dermitron Cream is a combination of five medicines: Clobetasol, Gentamicin, Clotrimazole, Clioquinol (Iodochlorhydroxyquin), and Tolnaftate. Clobetasol is a steroid that blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Gentamicin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria that cause skin infections. Clotrimazole and Tolnaftate are antifungal medications that specifically stop the growth of fungi on skin. Clioquinol (Iodochlorhydroxyquin) is an antibiotic with additional antifungal action. It works by preventing the growth and multiplication of both bacteria and fungi, treating your skin infection effectively.
How to Use Dermitron Cream?
Follow your doctor's instructions for use. Apply a thin layer of Dermitron Cream to the affected areas and ensure sufficient coverage. Generally, apply the cream two or three times daily. Wash your hands after using Dermitron Cream unless it is being used for treating skin infection on the hands.
Can I overuse Dermitron Cream?
No, do not overuse Dermitron Cream for extended periods or on large areas of skin. Overuse may result in excessive medicine absorption into the body, potentially leading to thinning or weakening of the skin and other adverse effects. If your symptoms worsen, consult your doctor for re-evaluation.
What are the instructions for storage and disposal of Dermitron Cream?
Store this medication in its original container or packaging, tightly sealed. Refer to the label on the pack for specific storage instructions. Do not use expired Dermitron Cream and dispose of unused portions appropriately. Keep it away from pets, children, and others to prevent accidental ingestion.
Can I stop taking Dermitron Cream when my symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop taking Dermitron Cream prematurely even if you experience symptom improvement. Your condition may still require continued treatment until the infection is fully eradicated. Remember, symptom relief does not always signify complete cure.
What precautions need to be taken while using Dermitron Cream?
Dermitron Cream should not be applied to the face. Avoid using this medication for a longer period than recommended by your doctor. Do not apply a bandage or dressing over the treated area, as it may increase medicine absorption and contribute to side effects. This medication is intended only for individual use and must not be shared with others, even if they share similar symptoms.
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying unless hands are the affected area.
