Dermikem OC Plus Cream

Description

Product Description

Dermikem OC Plus Cream is a prescription topical formulation containing Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, Clobetasol Propionate, and Zinc Sulphate. It is commonly prescribed for the management of inflammatory skin conditions complicated by susceptible bacterial infections, as determined by a healthcare professional.

Ofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that helps eliminate susceptible bacteria. Ornidazole provides antimicrobial activity against anaerobic microorganisms. Clobetasol Propionate is a potent corticosteroid that helps reduce redness, swelling, itching, and inflammation. Zinc Sulphate supports skin healing and tissue repair.

When used exactly as prescribed, Dermikem OC Plus Cream helps relieve symptoms of inflammation and infection while promoting recovery of the affected skin. It should only be used for the duration recommended by a healthcare professional because prolonged use of potent topical corticosteroids may increase the risk of adverse effects.
