Product Introduction

Stederm Cream is a multi-action topical formulation containing antifungal (Itraconazole), antibacterial (Ofloxacin, Ornidazole), anti-inflammatory (Clobetasol), and preservative agents (Methylparaben & Propylparaben). This powerful combination targets the root cause of skin infections and soothes inflamed, itchy skin.

It is prescribed for mixed infections, where both fungi and bacteria are involved, and where inflammation is also present. Regular use helps restore skin health and prevents recurrence.
