How it works
Dermalarc 4 Cream is a combination of four medicines: Chlorhexidine Gluconate, Clobetasol, Miconazole, and Neomycin. Chlorhexidine Gluconate is an antiseptic which effectively cleans out the affected area of skin to prevent infection. Clobetasol is a steroid which works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Miconazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi while Neomycin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria that cause skin infections. Together, they treat your skin infection effectively.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Dermalarc 4 Cream for the treatment of skin infections. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying. Apply it as a thin layer onto a clean, dry, unbroken infected area of skin. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas. Do not share your towel or clothes with anyone and wear clean clothes every day to prevent infection. It may take several weeks to show its action. Keep using it as suggested by your doctor.

The dosage and duration of using Dermalarc 4 Cream should be strictly according to your physician's instructions. This medicine contains clobetasol, which when used in high doses or over extended periods may enter the bloodstream and cause adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. It can lead to weight gain, high blood pressure, and facial rounding. Skin discoloration at the site of application is possible. Veins under the skin may become visible due to thinning and weakening of the skin. Increased hair growth could also occur. If you experience a worsening of your symptoms, consult your doctor for reevaluation.
