Benefits of Oxyderm Cream
Skin infections
Oxyderm Cream is a combination of medicines used to treat skin infections caused
by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. It works by killing and stopping
the growth of infection causing microorganisms, thereby clearing the infection
and relieving the symptoms. It also blocks the release of chemicals that cause
symptoms such as itching, redness and swelling. Therefore this medicine
relieves the inflammation due to these infections.
You should use this medicine for as long as it is prescribed, even if your
symptoms disappear, otherwise they may come back. Depending on the type of
infection you are treating, this may be several weeks. Even after your skin is
completely cured, you may have to apply it occasionally to prevent the
symptoms from returning.

How to use Oxyderm Cream

How Oxyderm Cream works
Oxyderm Cream is a combination of three medicines: Beclometasone, Neomycin and Miconazole which treat skin infections. Beclometasone is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Neomycin is an antibiotic which stops the growth of bacteria while Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi on the skin. Together, they treat your skin infection effectively.
