Quadriderm RF Cream Information

Quadriderm RF Cream (Clotrimazole/Beclomethasone/Neomycin) is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. Fungal skin infections are common diseases caused by fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. Bacterial skin infections occur when bacteria enter the skin and can cause various symptoms, including inflammation, swelling, pain, and warmth. Quadriderm RF Cream also treats skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants, eczema, psoriasis, insect bites, and stings. Imidazoles, like Clotrimazole, stop the growth of fungi that cause the infection. Corticosteroids like Beclomethasone relieve swelling, redness, and itching caused by the infection. Aminoglycoside antibiotics like Neomycin inhibit the growth of the bacteria, causing the infection.
