Quick info

Diploshine Cream is a combination of three medicines used for the treatment of acne, killing bacteria causing conditions and reducing inflammation and redness in the skin.

You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine. You should not apply it to damaged or broken skin and avoid contact with your mouth, eyes, and nose.

How it works

Diploshine Cream is a combination of three medicines: Betamethasone, Clindamycin, and Nicotinamide. Betamethasone is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) and allergies. Clindamycin is an antibiotic. It works by preventing synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Thus, it stops the bacteria from growing and prevents the infection from spreading. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B that provides essential nutrients.

Direction of use

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.
