Fluderm G Cream is a combination of two medicines: Fluderm G Cream1 and Fluderm G Cream2 which treat skin infections.

Benefits of Fluderm G Cream

In Treatment of Bacterial skin infections

Fluderm G Cream helps treat and control skin infections caused by bacteria such as boils, impetigo (red sores on face), infection in the hair follicle, etc. Fluderm G Cream gives relief from pain, swelling, redness, itching, discomfort at the affected area and speeds up the healing process.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How Fluderm G Cream works

Fluderm G Cream is a combination of two medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide and Gentamicin. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Gentamicin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth on the skin by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
