Cream "Triderm" and its analogues are prescribed for skin neuroallergic diseases complicated by a bacterial infection. The drug has a number of contraindications, before using it, consult your doctor.
The combination of a hormonal agent (Betamethasone), an antibiotic (Gentamicin) and an antifungal component (Clotrimazole) causes the antiallergic, antibacterial and antifungal activity of the Triderm preparation. The analogs of this medicine have a similar composition.
Wet eczema, allergic dermatitis, neurodermatitis, dermatomycosis - all these intractable skin diseases are accompanied by itching and pain at the lesion site. Especially a lot of inconvenience and painful sensations to patients are caused by inflammation localized in the area of the inguinal folds caused by a fungal infection. If treatment is not started on time, the skin becomes loose and a bacterial infection can get into the resulting wetting wound. In this case, the appointment of antifungal drugs does not give a noticeable positive result - treatment with a combination agent is required that can affect not only the fungus, but also bacteria.
In case of redness and peeling of the skin, accompanied by itching, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist at an early stage of the disease in order to prevent the development of complications. If complications could not be avoided, doctors prescribe treatment with the complex hormonal agent Triderm.
Analogues of the drug: "Akriderm" (Russia) and "Candiderm" (India) - have the identical component composition and the same effectiveness, at a lower cost.
Forms of release (cream or ointment) differ only in the composition of excipients. The main active ingredients included in them have anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, local hypothermic, decongestant, fungicidal (antifungal) and antibacterial effects.
