Uses

DERMISTOP is primarily prescribed for the management of various skin conditions, including fungal infections and inflammatory skin disorders. It is commonly used to relieve symptoms such as itching, redness, and inflammation associated with these conditions.

Mechanism of Action

DERMISTOP contains three active ingredients that work together to provide therapeutic effects. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that helps to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms of skin conditions. Miconazole is an antifungal agent that helps to treat fungal infections. Neomycin is an antibiotic that helps to prevent or treat bacterial infections. The combination of these ingredients helps to address the underlying causes of certain skin conditions, providing relief and promoting healing.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include skin irritation, burning, itching, or redness at the site of application. These effects are usually mild and temporary.

Serious side effects are rare but can occur. If you experience severe skin irritation, allergic reactions such as rash or difficulty breathing, or any other concerning symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as any herbal supplements. Certain medications may interact with DERMISTOP, potentially affecting its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.
