How Does It Work?

• Tigerderm Cream works by the combined action of both its components - Clobetasol and Neomycin.
• Clobetasol is a steroid, which works by blocking the production of certain chemical substances in the body (prostaglandins) which cause itching, swelling and redness.
• Neomycin is an antibiotic and it works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria causing infection.

Interactions with other medicines

• Tigerderm Cream is applied externally on the skin. It is less likely to interact with other medicines taken orally. However, it may interact with other topically applied medicines. Discuss with your doctor if you are already on another topical formulation.
• Tigerderm Cream should be used with caution along with ritonavir (used in HIV infection) and itraconazole (used to treat fungal infections), as it may increase the risk of having side effects.
