More about the Product

About Dermi 5 Cream

This topical combination cream is designed to treat inflamed skin infections caused by bacteria or fungi.

For optimal results, you must apply Dermi 5 Cream consistently at the same times each day as directed by your doctor. Keeping the affected skin clean and dry, alongside wearing loose cotton clothing, helps support the healing process and prevents the infection from spreading.

While using this medicine, you may notice mild local reactions like temporary burning, itching, or dry skin at the application site. However, if you experience severe skin thinning, skin color changes, or signs of an allergic reaction like hives, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Before starting this medicine, tell your doctor if you have viral skin infections like herpes, skin tuberculosis, or poor blood circulation in the target area. Do not use Dermi 5 Cream if you have a known allergy to any of its active components or if you have thin, fragile skin.

Although this medicine is applied to the skin, the steroid component (clobetasol) can be absorbed into the bloodstream, especially if it is used over large areas, on broken or thin skin, under airtight dressings, or for prolonged periods. Tell your doctor before combining this cream with other topical treatments. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, elderly, or planning a pregnancy, consult your doctor before use to discuss whether this medicine is safe for you and your baby.

Uses of Dermi 5 Cream

This medicine is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial and/or fungal infections. The detailed uses of this medicine are as follows:

  • Mixed skin infections: Dermi 5 Cream helps treat complex skin infections involving both bacterial and fungal organisms while reducing associated redness, swelling, and itching.
  • Infected eczema and dermatitis: It relieves severe itching, redness, and inflammation associated with eczema or dermatitis while treating or preventing secondary bacterial and fungal infections in affected skin.
  • Fungal skin infections: It helps treat common fungal infections such as ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch, particularly when they are accompanied by inflammation or secondary bacterial infection.

Key Benefits

Dermi 5 Cream provides comprehensive relief by treating infection and reducing inflammation at the same time. Its benefits include:

  • Helps treat bacterial and fungal skin infections simultaneously, reducing the need for multiple topical medicines.
  • Rapidly relieves itching, redness, swelling, and irritation, improving comfort during the healing process.
  • Helps clear the underlying infection while supporting faster healing of damaged skin.
  • Reduces the risk of the infection spreading to nearby skin when used as prescribed.
  • Simplifies treatment by combining antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory ingredients in a single topical preparation.

Directions for Use

  • Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dosage and duration of use for Dermi 5 Cream to ensure its safe and effective application.
  • Check the label for directions before using this medication.
  • Clean and dry the affected area. Apply Dermi 5 Cream directly onto the affected area and gently massage it in.
  • Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine, unless your hands are the affected area.
  • If Dermi 5 Cream accidentally comes in contact with eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with water immediately.

How Dermi 5 Cream Works

Dermi 5 Cream contains Clobetasol propionate, Gentamicin, Tolnaftate, Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline, and Clotrimazole. Clobetasol propionate: It is a highly potent corticosteroid that works inside skin cells to block the release of chemicals that cause redness, swelling, and severe itching. Gentamicin: It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic (a type of antibiotic that targets bacteria). It prevents bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. Tolnaftate: It is an antifungal medicine that blocks an enzyme called squalene epoxidase, preventing fungi from making ergosterol (a substance that keeps fungal cell membranes strong and functioning properly). This stops fungal growth and helps clear the infection. Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline: It is an antiseptic with antibacterial and antifungal activity that helps reduce the number of microorganisms on the skin. To reduce the risk of side effects, it should not be applied over large areas of the body or used for longer than prescribed. Clotrimazole: It is an imidazole antifungal (a type of antifungal medicine) that prevents fungi from making ergosterol (a substance that keeps fungal cell membranes strong and functioning properly). Without enough ergosterol, fungal cells become damaged and die.

What if I have taken an overdose of Dermi 5 Cream

An overdose of this topical medicine is highly unlikely when used as directed. However, if someone accidentally swallows the product, or if you apply excessive amounts over large areas of skin or use it for longer than prescribed, seek immediate medical attention. This may increase the absorption of the steroid and other ingredients into the bloodstream, increasing the risk of serious side effects.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Keep the affected area clean and dry: Wash the affected skin gently and dry it thoroughly after bathing, as fungi and bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments.
  • Wear breathable clothing: Choose loose-fitting, breathable cotton clothing to reduce sweat buildup, friction, and irritation over the affected skin.
  • Avoid scratching the skin: Do not scratch or pick at the affected area, as this can damage the skin, delay healing, and increase the risk of secondary bacterial infection.
  • Wash personal items regularly: Wash towels, bedding, and clothing frequently in hot water to help eliminate lingering fungi or bacteria and reduce the risk of reinfection.
