Skin problems are very unpleasant. In addition to the fact that they cause a lot of inconvenience and pose a threat to health, not a single person who has them can feel comfortable and confident. That is why, at the very first symptoms of skin disease, you should contact a practitioner so that without complications you can achieve the desired result and a healthy looking face.
Today, many have heard about the analogues of the drug Akriderm GK. Reviews about them are only positive if they were used as directed and as recommended by a doctor. Everyone has long known that self-medication does not lead to good.
Consider Akriderm GC in detail
"Akriderm GK" is a specialized drug that is prescribed by a doctor if the patient has signs of fungal diseases, inflammation or allergic reactions. In pharmacies, Akriderm GK can be found in the form of a cream or ointment, which are packed in tubes made of aluminum metal. Both ointment and cream have a white (or close to it) color and a thick, greasy consistency, since the composition of the product contains paraffin. You can find drugs in tubes of 15 and 30 grams.
Like all medicines, this one has an instruction that you should definitely study carefully before use. The thing is that the drug is quite specific.
Are there any quality analogues?
Of course, Akriderm GK cream has analogues like any other widely used drug. Modern physicians attribute Triderm to good remedies, as well as Kanizon Plus. Analogs can be assigned to you if Akriderm is not suitable for its composition, that is, you are susceptible to one of its components. As for the price of analogues, for example, Triderm will cost you even a little more, but if treatment is absolutely necessary and you are too susceptible to the original, then the question of money becomes secondary.
“Kanizon Plus” is slightly cheaper than “Akriderm GK”, but again, to choose which of the drugs should be used in your case, it is necessary only on the basis of the existing symptoms and possible increased sensitivity to one of the components of this or that drug. But still, most patients give preference to Akriderma, because Kanizon is a medicine imported from India.
Triacutan is perhaps the cheapest analogue of Acriderm, since it is produced in Ukraine. It has almost the same composition, and this suggests that the “Triacutane” is able to cope with the same diseases as the original.
"Akriderm GK" - ointment and cream - are domestic drugs, so their price is low. But still they are very effective. But nevertheless they are very effective, which is confirmed by the competent opinions of doctors and good reviews of patients who underwent therapy using these agents. Thus, everyone will be able to afford treatment with the help of the drug Akriderm GK.
Analogs (cheap) that you should not appoint yourself
The following ointments and creams are also referred to less well-known and at the same time less effective analogues of the remedy we are considering:
- "Celestoderm-V".
- Belosalik.
- Beloderm.
- Betasal.
- Rederm.
Let's consider them in detail.
Unlike the Kanizon-Plus and Triderm preparations, the aforementioned analogues differ slightly in composition. Therefore, before use, it is necessary not only to carefully read the instructions, but also to consult a doctor.
All of them belong to the same pharmacological group, but they will help from different diseases, since these are different forms of release, as already mentioned. It is worthwhile to understand all the features of the drugs in order to be able to distinguish them from each other and not be mistaken when choosing the right tool.
So, Celestoderm-B cream is an anti-inflammatory agent that will also help without problems with allergic diseases that affect the skin condition. "Celestoderm-B" relieves itching.
Belosalik is another analogue of Akriderma GK. This is also a very popular drug that many buyers trust, because it is the first aid for skin inflammations. A doctor cannot prescribe Belosalik if you have all the signs of a bacterial skin disease or allergies, as this medicine is powerless against them.
Beloderm and Rederm are excellent antiseptic agents that will also help if you have inflammation on your skin. By the way, these drugs are considered one of the best keratolytic drugs.
As can be seen from a similar characteristic of these funds, they are quite similar to each other in terms of scope, but their composition is slightly different. Practitioners are well aware which of these drugs is right for your case, so you should not prescribe yourself such a treatment without the watchful eye of a doctor.
Appointment and application: "Akriderm GK" or analogs? What to choose?
There is a specific range of diseases in which you can be prescribed analogues or the drug we are considering. But do not forget that the right choice of remedy and treatment regimen should be prescribed only by a practicing specialist.
So, we continue to consider the drug "Akriderm GK." The instructions for use claim that this medicine helps with all known dermatitis, both simple and allergic. Even if the disease was complicated by a secondary infection, Akriderm GK or its analogues should act quickly.
If you know what diffuse neurodermatitis is or even suffered it, then you should remember that even with this disease, the drug we are discussing and its analogues are quite effective. “Triderm” and “Kanizon Plus” are especially good.
Limited neurodermatitis, as well as simple lichen, can also be quickly and efficiently cured with the use of Acriderm GK. The reviews of people who have suffered the disease, are confirmation of this.
Eczema is a terrible disease that affects the skin of a person, seriously complicating his life and causing a lot of inconvenience. However, you can cope with it. For eczema, Akriderm GK (the instructions confirm this) is one of the most effective drugs, although Belosalik, Beloderm, and Betasal can be used instead.
Dermatomycoses, as well as candidiasis, are very “afraid” of Celestoderm-B and Triderm creams, but it is still worth using them only after a doctor’s examination.
Consider contraindications
No matter what anyone says, it is very important to know contraindications to drugs. Sometimes this is even more important than the concept of medical indications. Therefore, before you start therapy with the use of the drug "Akriderm GK", instructions for use for it should be fully studied by you. And especially this concerns her section on contraindications. Let us briefly outline its general provisions.
If you have been diagnosed with syphilis, but skin manifestations as such are not observed, the use of analogues of Acriderm GC is possible only under the supervision of a doctor. If there are already rashes on the skin, treatment using this group of drugs is strictly prohibited.
Skin tuberculosis is also a disease that will not allow you to use these drugs.
With open wounds or chickenpox, one should not be treated with Acriderm GK. Ointment (reviews - confirmation of this) can only do harm. The same goes for cream.
Dermal post-vaccination reactions, as well as herpes simplex, should in no case be treated with Acriderma analogues. So you can very seriously harm your health.
Can I use analogues of the drug during pregnancy or for the treatment of young children?
During pregnancy, as well as lactation, the organisms of the woman and the fetus that develops in her are very susceptible to a variety of external factors, including medications. For analogues of Akriderm GK, indications for use during pregnancy change. The doctor may allow the use of these drugs only in the first trimester, but in very limited doses, so as not to harm the child. As for the lactation period, then if the use of "Akriderma" is an absolute necessity, breast-feeding will have to be stopped.
Analogues of the drug in the form of creams can be prescribed to a child who has already reached the age of one year. But the application should take place under constant monitoring of changes in the condition of a small patient. In the form of an ointment, drugs are allowed to be used for children from only two years old.
How to use "Akriderm GK" and its analogues?
Depending on the complexity of the disease, Akriderm GK or its analogues, such as Triderm and Kanizon Plus, can be used once or twice a day. Cream or ointment is applied only to affected areas of the skin. These drugs need to be treated for about two weeks. The maximum treatment period is up to one month. If after the first week of application you still have not noticed positive results, you should again consult a doctor and change the dosage. Also, a lack of results can be noted due to the fact that the diagnosis was incorrectly made.
It is interesting that the analogues of "Akriderma" relate to those drugs, which are extremely dangerous to cancel. The use of ointment or cream should be abandoned in stages.
Application on the skin of the face has its own characteristics
Analogues of Akriderma, namely Belosalik and Beloderm, can be used on the skin of the face, but there are some features of the treatment. If the drug can be used on other areas of the skin for up to four weeks, then the maximum period for facial skin should not exceed five days, otherwise not only side effects, but also atrophic changes in the epidermis are possible.
Consider possible side effects.
Since these drugs are prescribed for serious diseases, it is clear that their components can cause some side effects, which, however, should not scare the patient.
If you notice dry skin, mild and tolerable itching, or a burning sensation after using any of the Acriderma analogues, as well as slight irritation or allergic reactions, this may be due to the start of the drug. It is worth contacting your treating specialist, who may be able to recommend a medicine that is more suitable for your individual case. But reviews confirm that such reactions are extremely rare or almost invisible.
What do the patients themselves say about these medicines?
People who encounter diseases in which they can prescribe Kanizon Plus, Triderm or Akriderm GK leave only positive and even admired reviews about them. Such an attitude to drugs is understandable in that they are really able to quickly help with unpleasant skin diseases. According to reviews, these medications can even accelerate the healing of cracks that appear after fungal infections.
Many people like it exactly “Akriderm GK” also because it has no unpleasant smell. It is quickly absorbed and leaves no residue on clothing. In addition, it will not cause any discomfort if you are constantly in the company of other people and use Acriderm GK at the same time. Cheap analogs can have a rather sharp, unpleasant smell.
Is Akriderm GK a hormonal drug?
Many are interested in the question: is Akriderm GK a hormonal preparation or not? The answer here is one: it is really a hormone-containing remedy.
However, with the right dosage and adherence to all the advice of the attending physician, no side effects will be observed. So you should not be afraid of this medicine just because it contains glucocorticosteroids, because if you violate the doctor’s recommendations, you can harm yourself with any non-hormonal drug.
With an overdose or excessive use of this drug, Cushing's syndrome may develop . This disease is characterized by a chronic effect on the body of excess hormones that are secreted by the adrenal cortex. But rarely, such an illness is caused precisely by Akriderm GK. Cheap analogs may well provoke it.

Take care of your eyes and some other precautions
Analogues of "Akriderma" are those drugs from which you need to protect your eyes and also the skin of the eyelids, because the consequences can be dire.
It must be remembered that these are not the ointments and creams that should be rubbed intensively into the skin. It is quite simple to apply them with a thin layer. It is also not recommended to cover the affected areas of the skin that have been treated with the drug, dressings.
The drugs should be stored in a closed tube, preferably in a dark place where the temperature fluctuates between 15-25 degrees Celsius.
Of course, Akriderm GK still has cheap analogues, but it still remains quite popular and a good drug, which is very much in demand today. If you follow all the recommendations of a doctor, carefully monitor the body's response to treatment, then you can easily get rid of the manifestations of skin diseases.
