Terbicad Plus Cream belongs to a class of dermatological medication ‘Topical Anti-Infectives with Corticosteroids’ used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to certain skin infections. Terbicad Plus Cream is a combination of five drugs with active components Clobetasol (corticosteroid), Miconazole (antifungal), and Neomycin (antibiotic). Besides this, it also contains additives like Zinc oxide (astringent which protects and contracts skin) and Borax (removes dead skin and microbes). Terbicad Plus Cream is used to treat most bacterial and fungal skin infections. Fungal infection 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). Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.
Terbicad Plus Cream contains Clobetasol, Miconazole, Neomycin, Borax, and Zinc oxide. Clobetasol belongs to the class of corticosteroids that works by acting inside skin cells and inhibits the release of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause redness, itching, and swelling. When the skin reacts to any allergens, such chemicals are released normally. Miconazole is an antifungal that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Thus, kills fungi. Neomycin belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, kills the bacteria and clears the infection. Borax and Zinc oxide are minerals that provide necessary nutrients to the body.
