Aboderm Plus Cream Patient Guide

Overview Aboderm Plus Cream is a topical medication used to treat various skin conditions. It contains two active ingredients: Terbinafine (1% w/w) and Clobetasol (0.05% w/w). This cream is manufactured by Edymax Lifesciences Private Limited.

Uses Aboderm Plus Cream is used to treat fungal infections, such as athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It is also effective in treating skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis. The cream helps to reduce inflammation, itching, and redness associated with these conditions.

Mechanism of Action Terbinafine works by inhibiting the growth of fungi, thereby treating fungal infections. Clobetasol, on the other hand, is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation and itching by suppressing the immune system's response.
