Cataderm N 0.05/0.5 % Cream 10 GM is applied topically.

Cataderm N 0.05/0.5 % Cream 10 GM contains two active components which work together to combat skin infections and inflammation:

• Clobetasol Propionate (0.05%): As a potent corticosteroid, it controls inflammation by inhibiting the production of certain substances known as inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These are chemicals that promote inflammation in your body. This ingredient also reduces redness and swelling due to its vasoconstrictive properties - it causes blood vessels in your skin to narrow.

• Neomycin (0.5%): This is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that fights bacteria by blocking their ability to make proteins, which are crucial for their growth and survival. By inhibiting protein synthesis, neomycin stops bacteria from growing and spreading in your body.

• Keep Cataderm N 0.05/0.5 % Cream 10 GM at temperature below 30 ºC.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Ensure the lid is tightly secured after use.

• Always place this medicine out of reach of children.

• As Cataderm N 0.05/0.5 % Cream 10 GM helps manage bacterial skin infections, maintaining personal hygiene is essential. Regularly wash your hands with antibacterial soap to prevent bacteria from spreading.

• If you're using the cream for an inflammatory skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, avoid scratchy fabrics and wear soft, breathable clothing to reduce irritation.
