How to Use:
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying unless hands are the affected area.

How it Works:
Tocoderm Plus Cream is a combination of four medicines: Terbinafine, Clobetasol, Ofloxacin, and Ornidazole, which treats skin infections. Terbinafine is an antifungal which stops the growth of fungi by preventing them from forming their protective covering. Clobetasol is a steroid medicine. It blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen, and itchy. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic which kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Ornidazole is also an antibiotic which kills other infectious microorganisms in addition to bacteria by damaging the DNA.

Quick Tips:

• It is for use on skin only. Do not use it in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. Rinse with cold water if you accidentally get it in these areas.
• Wash your hands with soap before and after applying the cream.
• Do not share your towel or clothes with anyone.
• Wear clean clothes every day to prevent infection.
• Do not cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor.
• If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Tocoderm Plus Cream and consult your doctor.
