Benefits
In treatment of Skin infections
Panderm Super Cream helps treat and control various skin infections caused by bacteria and fungus. It kills the microorganisms causing infection, thereby clearing the infection. It also gives relief from pain, swelling, redness, or itching due to infection and speeds up the healing process. You may notice your skin starting to get better within 4-5 days. Keep using Panderm Super Cream for as long as it is prescribed.
How it works
Panderm Super Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Clotrimazole and Fusidic Acid, which treats skin infections. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by inhibiting synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
