Medical Description
Fourderm cream is a medication that is applied topically to the skin to treat infections caused by bacteria, fungi or a combination of both. It is composed of a combination of active ingredients like clobetasol, neomycin, miconazole and chlorhexidine. Clobetasol is a steroid with anti-inflammatory properties, while neomycin and chlorhexidine have antibacterial properties and miconazole is an antifungal agent. Together, these ingredients work to reduce symptoms such as redness, swelling and itching.
It is crucial to use Fourderm cream exactly as prescribed by your doctor. This medication is meant for external use only and should not be ingested. To use it, apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area on the skin surface that is free from cuts and wounds. Rub gently until the cream covers the entire affected area. Do not use this cream for an extended period on a larger skin area or for longer than the prescribed duration.
Before starting treatment with Fourderm cream, it is essential to inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a detailed medical history. Additionally, let your doctor know about all other topical medications that you are using. If you do not see any improvement in your condition within 15 days, consult your doctor.
