"Travocort" describes the instructions for use as a combination agent that is part of the pharmacological group of isoconazole derivatives. The active component present in the composition of this drug effectively suppresses the synthesis of ergosterol in the cell membranes of the fungus and blocks the synthesis of proteins of pathogenic microorganisms in a relatively short time, thus causing their death. In addition, the combination agent "Travocort" (the instructions for use confirms) has a characteristic anti-exudative, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and anti-allergic effect. It should be especially noted that this drug is intended exclusively for local use.
The anti-inflammatory cream "Travocort" is produced, the price of which is on average 350-400 rubles, in the form of a white or white-yellow homogeneous mass that contains isoconazole nitrate and diflucortolone valerate. The auxiliary elements are ketostearyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, petroleum jelly, sorbitan stearate, sodium edetate, liquid heavy paraffin and purified water.

In case of inflammatory skin processes in the genital area and in the inguinal region, it is also recommended to start using the antipruritic and antifungal agent Travocort. Instructions for use recommend applying it with erythrasma or candidiasis.
The use of this anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic cream is strictly prohibited if a person is individually intolerant of isoconazole nitrate, diflucortolone valerate, or any other components present in the composition.
