Bariderm-AL Gel is a combination of two medicines: Clobetasol and Ammonium Lactate which treat skin infection. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Ammonium Lactate is a skin protectant which works as a moisturizer and relieves minor skin irritations.

Bariderm-AL Gel may take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Bariderm-AL Gel. Apply it as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by an infection. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. It is advisable not to touch or scratch the infected area as it can worsen the situation.
