What is Acneaway Cream?
Acneaway Cream is a potent "triple-action" pharmaceutical preparation manufactured by Lesanto Laboratories and marketed in Nigeria by Elbe Pharma. It is designed to treat inflammatory skin conditions complicated by bacterial or fungal infections.
How it Works
The cream combines three active ingredients to provide comprehensive relief:
- Triamcinolone Acetonide (Corticosteroid): A potent anti-inflammatory agent that reduces redness, swelling, and itching.
- Econazole Nitrate (Antifungal): An effective antifungal that combats infections like ringworm, tinea, and candidiasis.
- Gentamicin Sulphate (Antibiotic): A broad-spectrum antibiotic that treats bacterial skin infections.
Uses and Indications
Acneaway is primarily indicated for the treatment of:
- Inflammatory dermatomycoses (fungal skin infections with significant inflammation)
- Infected acne and pimples
- Eczema and various forms of dermatitis
- Tinea (ringworm) and other fungal infections
Important Safety Information
Because Acneaway contains a corticosteroid (Triamcinolone), it is intended for short-term use under medical supervision. It is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM) and should not be used as a daily cosmetic face cream. Prolonged use can lead to skin thinning or other side effects. If you experience persistent irritation or have questions about its use, please contact a GoMed pharmacist for professional guidance.
How to Use
Clean and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the cream. Use as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended duration of treatment.
