How does Mcderm Cream work?

Mcderm Cream consists of Clotrimazole, Neomycin and Beclomethasone. Clotrimazole, an antifungal drug, stops fungi's growth by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin is an antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Beclomethasone, a corticosteroid, works by blocking prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.

Do I need to take any precautions while using Mcderm Cream?

Mcderm Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse thoroughly with water.
