Mixderm – 30g Topical Cream
Available at Pharmaegy Pharmacy. Use as directed by your doctor.
Intro: Mixderm is a potent "3-in-1" combination therapy produced by Global Napi Pharmaceuticals (GNP). It combines a high-potency steroid (Betamethasone 0.05%), a broad-spectrum antibiotic (Gentamicin 0.1%), and a proven antifungal (Clotrimazole 1%). This 30g tube is the professional-sized option for managing skin conditions that involve inflammation, bacteria, and fungi simultaneously.
Indications:
Large Area Dermatitis: Treating wider patches of infected, itchy, or red skin.
Stubborn Fungal Infections: Effective for athlete's foot (Tinea Pedis) or ringworm where significant swelling is present.
Secondary Infections: Skin rashes that have become "weeping" or crusted due to scratching and bacterial growth.
Moist Skin Fold Rashes: Redness in the groin or underarms that requires a longer course (5–7 days) to fully clear.
How to Use:
Dosage: Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily (morning and evening).
Application: Ensure the skin is clean and dry. Gently massage the cream until it disappears.
Duration: Use for the full duration prescribed (usually 5–7 days). Do not use for more than 2 weeks without medical supervision.
Crucial Rules:
The "Thin Layer" Rule: Using more cream doesn't make it work faster; it only increases the risk of the steroid thinning your skin.
Facial Warnings: Do not use this 30g tube as a regular face cream. It can cause permanent "spider veins" (telangiectasia) and skin thinning if used on the face for more than a few days.
Occlusion: Do not cover the cream with plastic wrap or tight bandages, as this makes the steroid too strong and can lead to internal side effects.
Sanitation: Wash your hands before and after application to prevent spreading the infection to other parts of your body.
Generic International Brands: Quadriderm, Triderm, Lotriderm.
