Surfaz SN Cream 10 gm

Surfaz SN Cream is used to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections. It treats skin inflammation due to allergies or irritants, eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy/uneven red patches covered with white scales), insect bites and stings. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. Fungal infection is caused when a fungus invades and affects the tissue on the skin.

Surfaz SN Cream is composed of three medicines: Clotrimazole, Neomycin and Beclomethasone dipropionate. Clotrimazole stops the growth of fungi by causing damage and leakage to the fungal cell membrane. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions and has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Beclomethasone dipropionate is a corticosteroid and blocks prostaglandin's production (chemical messengers) that make the affected area red, swollen and itchy.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Surfaz SN Cream is for topical (for skin use) only. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth, rinse with cold water. Common side effects of Surfaz SN Cream include redness, itching, dryness and a burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to any of the ingredients. Do not use Surfaz SN Cream on open wounds, blisters and lesions. Do not put a dressing or bandage on the affected area since it increases the risk of side effects. Please check with your doctor before using Surfaz SN Cream if you have dehydration problems, cataracts or glaucoma, diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, hearing problems (ototoxicity), osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones), muscle weakness, liver and kidney diseases. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting Surfaz SN Cream.

Fungal infection: It is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another). The symptoms of a fungal infection include scaly skin, blisters, itching, swelling, irritation and redness.

Bacterial infection: It is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, infect and grow in the body. It can target any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria come in three basic shapes, namely spherical, rod or spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have thick cell walls) or gram-negative (do not have cell walls). 

Eczema: It is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough. 

Psoriasis: It is a skin disorder in which skin cells multiply and form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales.
