How it works
Dipsid-Plus Cream is a combination of three medicines: Clobetasol, Clotrimazole, and Fusidic Acid. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Clotrimazole is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their own protective covering. Fusidic Acid is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth by inhibiting synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions.
Quick Tips
Dipsid-Plus Cream 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 Dipsid-Plus Cream. 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.

Frequently asked questions
What would happen if I use a higher than the recommended dose of Dipsid-Plus Cream for long periods?
Using higher doses of Dipsid-Plus Cream for extended durations can lead to absorption into the bloodstream. This may result in adrenal suppression and Cushing's syndrome. Symptoms such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and facial rounding are possible outcomes. Skin discoloration at the application site is also a potential side effect, along with visible veins due to skin thinning and weakened tissue. Increased hair growth might occur. If you experience an increase in your symptoms, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
What are the contraindications associated with the use of Dipsid-Plus Cream?
Dipsid-Plus Cream is not recommended for individuals allergic to any of its components or excipients.
