Aristoderm Cream is a triple-action topical formulation containing Betamethasone, Clotrimazole, and Gentamicin. It is used for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions complicated by fungal and bacterial infections. This combination provides anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial effects, helping to relieve redness, itching, swelling, and discomfort while eliminating susceptible microorganisms.

Aristoderm Cream is commonly prescribed for mixed skin infections where inflammation is associated with fungal infection and secondary bacterial involvement. The cream spreads easily, absorbs quickly, and is particularly suitable for moist or non-scaly skin lesions.

This medicine should only be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. It is not recommended for routine use on uncomplicated fungal infections due to the presence of a corticosteroid.

How Aristoderm Cream Works

Aristoderm Cream combines three active ingredients with complementary actions:

• Betamethasone is a corticosteroid that suppresses inflammation, reducing redness, swelling, itching, and irritation.
• Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that inhibits the formation of ergosterol, an essential component of fungal cell membranes, leading to the destruction of fungi.
• Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis, helping eliminate susceptible bacteria responsible for skin infections.

Together, these ingredients provide comprehensive treatment for inflamed skin affected by both fungal and bacterial infections.
