G-DERM is used for relief of itching and inflammation associated with a wide variety of skin conditions like allergic dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis and plaque psoriasis.
G-DERM is even indicated in topical treatment infected insect bites, minor burns, eczematoid dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, excoriation, lacerations, skin abscesses and cysts, skin ulcers, stasis ulcers, stings, bacterial infections of minor fungal and viral infections, sycosis barbae and minor surgical wounds.
G-DERM stops the growth of fungi that causes skin infections, including athlete’s foot, jock itch, ring worms, infections in nails, scalp, palms and soles. It helps in oxidative damage in Parkinson, alzeimer, amylotropic lateral sclerosis and other neurogenerative diseases.
Dosage:
G-DERM is applied twice a day. Thoroughly clean the infected area, allow it to dry, and then gently rub the medication on it until most of it disappears. Use just enough medication to cover the affected area. Hands should be washed after applying the medication.
Continue the treatment for at least 2 weeks after symptoms disappear. A total 4-6 weeks of treatment may be necessary.
Side Effects:
The most commonly noted side effects of G-DERM are burning at the site of application, itching, irritation and dryness that did not usually require discontinuation of treatment. Possible photo sensitization has been reported in several patients.
Warnings & Precautions:
Use of D-DERM occasionally allows over growth of non susceptible organisms, including fungi. If it occurs, or if irritation, sensitization or super infection develops, treatment with g-derm cream should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.
Large doses and prolong use of g-derm may suppress cortisol production which may lead to increase in glucose levels.
Suppression of immune response may allow other infections to occur more easily. Use of occlusive dressings should be avoided since higher absorption of g-derm in the body may take place.
Pregnancy & Lactation:
Use of G-DERM cream in pregnant and breastfeeding women is not been studied, it should only be used if the advantages outweigh the risk.
Drug Interactions:
Combining G-DERM with topical anthralin may increase psoriasis symptoms. Therefore, G-DERM should be discontinued 1 week before stating anthralins. Other skin medications may affect the absorption or effectiveness of g-derm cream.
Avoid using other topical preparations at the same time except under the direction of the physician.
Contraindications:
G-DERM is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity or allergy to any of its content.
