How Fluderm G Cream works
Fluderm G Cream is a combination of two medicines: Fluocinolone acetonide and Gentamicin. Fluocinolone acetonide is a steroid which blocks the production of certain chemical messengers (prostaglandins) that make the skin red, swollen and itchy. Gentamicin is an antibiotic. It stops bacterial growth on the skin by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions.
