What is Epiderm Lotion?
Epiderm Lotion is a broad-spectrum, triple-action topical medication formulated to treat a variety of inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial or fungal infections. Manufactured by Shalina Healthcare, this lotion combines the power of a corticosteroid, an antibiotic, and two antifungal agents to provide fast relief from symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling.
How It Works (Triple Action)
Epiderm Lotion works through three primary mechanisms:
- Anti-inflammatory: Betamethasone Dipropionate helps reduce swelling and inflammation.
- Antibacterial: Gentamicin targets and eliminates bacterial infections.
- Antifungal: Tolnaftate and Clioquinol (Iodochlorhydroxyquinoline) effectively treat fungal growth.
