Bafama Triple Action Cream 30g
Bafama Triple Action Cream is a potent medicated treatment widely used in Nigeria to manage inflammatory skin conditions complicated by fungal or bacterial infections. This cream is formulated to provide sharp relief from itching, swelling, and redness while treating the underlying cause of the infection.
What is the work of Bafama Cream?
Bafama is primarily used for the management of:
- Fungal Infections: Highly effective for ringworm (tinea corporis), athlete's foot, and candidiasis (locally associated with symptoms of "toilet infection").
- Bacterial Skin Infections: Eliminates bacteria in secondarily infected wounds or rashes.
- Inflammatory Conditions: Provides fast relief for eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis.
Triple Action Formula
The cream combines three active ingredients for comprehensive dermatological care:
- Clotrimazole (1% w/w): A broad-spectrum antifungal that stops fungal growth.
- Neomycin Sulphate (0.5% w/w): An antibiotic that kills bacteria and prevents further infection.
- Betamethasone Dipropionate (0.05% w/w): A strong corticosteroid that rapidly reduces inflammation and the "pepperish" sensation of itching.
How to Use Bafama Cream
- Clean the Area: Wash the affected skin and dry it thoroughly.
- Apply Thinly: Gently rub a small amount onto the affected area 2 to 3 times daily.
- Duration: Use for the full duration recommended by your GoMed pharmacist, even if symptoms clear up within 24-48 hours.
Important Precautions & Side Effects
- Face and Pimples: Do not use Bafama for pimples or acne on the face. The strong steroid can cause skin thinning or "rebound" acne.
- External Use Only: Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or internal mucosal areas.
- Pregnancy: If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a GoMed pharmacist before starting treatment.
