Medicinal Benefits
TEZCORT F CREAM 10GM is a combination of two drugs, namely Clobetasol and Fusidic acid. TEZCORT F CREAM 10GM is used to reduce swelling, itching, and redness caused due to bacterial skin infections. Clobetasol is a corticosteroid that acts 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. Fusidic acid is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic that mainly acts against gram-positive bacteria. It inhibits the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers. Thereby, it stops the growth of bacteria without killing them directly. Then the bacteria eventually die, or the immune system destroys them and clears the infection.
