Product introduction

Dermi-Zio 6 Cream is a combination medicine that is used to treat various types of skin infections. It minimizes symptoms of inflammation such as redness, swelling, and itching. It also has an antimicrobial action against the infection-causing microorganisms.

Dermi-Zio 6 Cream is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. A thin layer of the medicine should be applied only to the affected areas of the skin with clean and dry hands. If it gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or vagina rinse with water. It may take several days to weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. The course of the treatment should be completed to ensure better efficacy of the medicine. If your condition does not improve or gets worse, you should talk to your doctor.

The most common side effect of this medicine includes itching, redness, and burning sensation at the application site. These are usually self-limiting. Serious side effects are rare. You must consult the doctor if you experience any allergic reaction (rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc.).

Before using this medicine, it is important to tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines for the same disease or other diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medicine with proper consultation and caution. If you are a known allergic to the medicine, you must refrain from using this medicine and consult the doctor about this condition. During the course of the treatment, do not touch or scratch the infected skin areas as this may worsen or spread the infection.

Uses of Dermi-Zio Cream

Benefits of Dermi-Zio Cream

In Treatment of Skin infections

Dermi-Zio 6 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.

Side effects of Dermi-Zio Cream

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Dermi-Zio

  • Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness)

How to use Dermi-Zio Cream

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 Dermi-Zio Cream works

Dermi-Zio 6 Cream is a combination of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial medicines. Clioquinol is an antifungal agent that acts by interacting with DNA synthesis thus killing the fungi that are responsible for causing the infection. Clobetasol works by preventing the production of certain chemicals that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Dexpanthenol acts like a skin moisturizer, improving hydration, reducing water loss and maintaining skin softness and elasticity. Ketoconazole and tolnaftate are antifungal medications that kill and stop the growth of the fungi by destroying its cell membrane, thereby treating your skin infection. Neomycin stops bacterial growth by inhibiting production of essential proteins needed by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
