Scheriderm Diflucortolone Isoconazole & Neomycin Cream 15 g

Sheriderm Cream (Diflucortolone, Isoconazole & Neomycin, 15 g) is a combined medication with antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Thanks to its three active components, it is widely used in dermatology to treat inflammatory skin conditions complicated by fungal or bacterial infections.

Pharmacological Properties
 

Scheriderm cream contains three active substances:

• Diflucortolone – a corticosteroid with strong anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects. It helps reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort.
• Isoconazole – a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that inhibits the growth of dermatophytes, yeast, and mold fungi.
• Neomycin – an aminoglycoside antibiotic effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

This unique combination not only relieves symptoms of inflammation but also targets the underlying cause of infection.
 

Indications for Use
 

Scheriderm crema is prescribed for the treatment of:

• Dermatomycoses complicated by bacterial infection
• Candidiasis of the skin
• Fungal infections in skin folds and moist areas
• Inflammatory dermatoses with risk of secondary infection
• Eczema and allergic dermatitis associated with fungal or bacterial flora
   

How to Use Scheriderm Cream
 

• Apply a small amount of Scheriderm in a thin layer to the affected skin.
• Recommended frequency: 1–2 times per day, depending on severity.
• Treatment usually lasts 7–14 days, but may be extended if advised by a physician.

⚠️ Important: Avoid excessive use, especially over large areas of skin. Prolonged application of corticosteroids may cause skin atrophy.

Possible Side Effects
 

When used correctly, Scheriderm cream is generally well tolerated. However, some patients may experience:

• Mild burning or itching at the application site
• Dryness or skin irritation
• Rare allergic reactions such as rash
• With prolonged use: skin atrophy or visible small blood vessels (telangiectasia)
   

Contraindications
 

Scheriderm crema is not recommended in cases of:

• Viral skin infections (e.g., herpes, chickenpox)
• Tuberculous or syphilitic skin lesions
• Hypersensitivity to any component
• Use in children without medical supervision
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding, unless under medical advice
