Ornoderm-Rf 10G is a dermatological combination medication used to reduce swelling, itching and redness caused due to certain fungal skin infections. Fungal infection is a skin disease in which a fungus attacks the skin tissue and causes infection. Fungal infections may be contagious (spread from one person to another).
Ornoderm-Rf 10G contains Nadifloxacin (antibiotics), Mometasone (corticosteroid) and Miconazole (antifungal). Nadifoxacin is bactericidal and works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It inhibits the repairing of bacterial cells and kills the bacteria, thereby preventing the infection's further spread. Mometasone blocks various chemical messengers (like histamine) involved in allergic and non-allergic mediated inflammation. It reduces inflammation, itchiness and redness by preventing infection-fighting white blood cells (WBCs) from travelling to the affected area of your body. Miconazole belongs to the antifungals class that works by causing holes in the fungal cell membranes and killing fungi.
Ornoderm-Rf 10G is only for external use. Some people may experience dry skin, itching, irritation, redness or burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of Ornoderm-Rf 10G do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are known to be allergic to Ornoderm-Rf 10G or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult a doctor before using the Ornoderm-Rf 10G. Do not use Ornoderm-Rf 10G in more than prescribed doses or for prolonged periods as it may cause adverse effects. Do not wrap or cover the treated area with bandages unless your doctor advises.
